The Artists' Cooperative Gallery of Westerly, ACGOW, has its own unique way of celebrating the bounty of autumn. During most of the year an entirely new show is installed each month featuring the work of many of its 60 artist members. In October those artists welcome and celebrate the artistic contributions of the gallery's many associate members, making the October show one of the most diverse of the year.

       The October “First Friday” artists-provided hors d'oeuvre reception, includes wine provided by Perks and Corks of Westerly. This month's show is also made possible by the generous support of The Law Offices of Atorney Sean Donohue and of Shoreline Painting.

       Check out some of the October works by viewing our Current Exhibition page gallery slider HERE.

        Visitors to the October show will find a broad selection of two and three-dimensional original art including rich oils, vivid watercolors and acrylics, soft pastels, drawings, encaustics, a wide range of mixed media works, photography, fiber art, pottery, art glass, woodwork, sculpture and handcrafted jewelry.

       This ever-changing array of original art is complemented by a large selection of prints and small works in ACGOW's Gallery Shop. There, visitors will find all manner of small, affordable, one-of-a-kind handmade decorative objects, small paintings, framed and unframed prints, books and journals, and cards.

       Why not try something new this fall?  Artist member, Tammy Blais, will offer two-hour classes in which she will share with participants her techniques of painting with a palette knife. New member, Jenny Thompson, will also teach a series of painting class this month. See details about her classes by clicking on our Education page.
