NECM and CWCA formed a professional collaboration with the art and appreciation of carving as their bond. Both groups promote the Art of Carving and who could ask for a better place than the museum to be in the presence of magnificent carved carousel figures to be inspired! A meeting here, a meeting there and an association was formed that led to the first of over 20 years of the annual CWCA Show & Competition held at the NECM, as well as other CWCA participation with other NECM events. CWCA also holds seminars and meetings on occasion at NECM.
