Gallery | 14 Railroad Ave | westerlyarts.org

The Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly (ACGOW) is a fine arts gallery located at 14 Railroad Avenue in the historic Westerly Train Station. The Gallery exhibits a new show every month and offers scheduled lectures, workshops and art classes.

This month’s show at the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly is vibrant with art inspired by birds, bees and blooms, as well as floral interpretations of art created by the Ocean Community YMCA Garden Club. Come see, and meet the artists, at the show’s Opening Reception – Friday, June 6th, from 5-8 PM.

Featured artist Tammy Blais uses oils, a palette knife, and often mixed media including old dictionaries to create unique, expressive paintings with pops of color.

Inspired to continually challenge herself, featured artist Janet Maher often combines pencil drawing with hand-marbled papers, book art or mass-produced ephemera to create complex, imaginative collages.

Over 50 of ACGOW’s elected artists will also participate in June’s show in a wide variety of 2- and 3-dimensional mediums.

At 47 High Street, see the works of Nancy Mygatt and meet this month’s visiting artist Hillery Errett at Studio Faxon. Hillery Errett is a visionary creative artist whose work intricately weaves together nostalgia, whimsy, and a touch of the macabre. With an upcoming exhibition titled “Doll’s Eye View: Haunted Heads and Hidden Treasures”, she invites viewers into a world where childhood imagination collides with adult introspection. This captivating show features an array of assemblage art pieces crafted from doll heads and an eclectic collection of vintage treasures, each telling its own story and evoking a sense of wonder.

studioFAXON creates assemblages of still life objects that became colored pencil drawings that eventually morphed into wearable art and sculpture. I take pride in creating work that provokes innovative thinking and inspires self-expression that can bring energy and excitement when the viewers find their own personal connection. Nancy Faxon Mygatt, of studioFAXON & Mygatt Design, owner, is not only an award winning fine artist, but has also won several awards for her graphic design. All work is available for purchase, commissions upon request.
