The Museum of the Creative Process

Launch of New Exhibits & Wellness Emotional Education

We are thrilled to introduce you to workshops and sculptural tours of the new exhibits of The Museum of the Creative Process. Dr. Albert Levis purchased The Wilburton in 1987 to launch workshops on The Formal Theory of Behavior, a new integrative paradigm uniting psychology, morality, science and art. Contact moralscience@hotmail.com to register.

Hope on the bus with Albert for guided tours through the remarkable art at The Wilburton. New exhibits include The Greek and Mexican Gods and The Silver Fence by Vermont artist, Piper Strong.

The Museum of the Creative Process is a center of creative discovery and analytical research. Located on the estate of the Wilburton Inn, the Museum brings together modern and traditional understanding of creativity. More than an art center, the Museum is dedicated to understanding the psychological properties of creativity, bridging art and science to gain insight into human relations, interpersonal and interpsychic conflict. Founded and directed by Albert Levis, M.D., the Museum welcomes artists, scholars, scientists, and poets.

Both a research center and a learning forum, the Museum has welcomed workshops and retreats from colleges and universities including Bennington, Skidmore, Harvard, and St. Michael. Private tours are welcome as are casual visits. For additional information, to find out about our research, or to schedule reservations, please visit MuseumoftheCreativeProcess.com.

Museum Curator, Dr. Albert Levis, a Yale trained psychiatrist with over 40 years of clinical experience, brings conceptual rigor to creativity, exploring how art makes us feel, and how we change through the process of being creative. The Museum exhibits illustrate how art reflects the unconscious' universal need for conflict resolution. Whereas Freud believed the unconscious was driven by needs for sexuality and power, Levis asserts that the mind is oriented towards resolving conflict, transforming energy from conflict to resolution. According to Levis, we can learn about how we each uniquely resolve conflict by being creative. 

While the exhibits at the Wilburton Campus explore how this pattern has evolved cross-culturally in the cultures of ancient Mexico, Greece, Asia, and Judea, the Moral Science Project exhibits highlight the personal relevance of this pattern. These exhibits include the Henry Gorski Retrospective, a collection of 100 canvases by the renowned abstract expressionist, and the outdoor sculpture park. Levis created the 4-acre park to bring art to the village. The park's 6 installations explore Levis' own journey, from childhood stress as a holocaust survivor, to teenage response, adult anxiety and defense, to a late in life acceptance of reversal and compromise. 

Visitors are encouraged to complete a free Creativity for Self Discovery online program to create their own art and discover their own conflict resolution pattern.
