Lakewold's Wagner House Art Series invites underrepresented artists to exhibit their work here, sometimes showing publicly for the first time. The exhibits generate dialogue surrounding issues such as climate change and our role in it; race, cultural heritage, and personal history; new media including data-driven sculptural installation; and artwork in a diverse range of styles and media.

Wagner House offers a unique and flexible setting for exhibitions. Built in 1908 and renovated in 1958 in a classic Georgian style, the space allows for an intimacy of encounter not often experienced in a more typical gallery setting. Here, the artwork is given context by the views of nature that greet guests from every window; indoor and outdoor spaces blur as what is inside converses with what is growing in the gardens.
