In addition, the art of 50+ juried artist members, featuring a wide variety of two- and three- dimensional works will be exhibited Two-dimensional mediums include a large selection of oils, watercolors, encaustic, acrylics, pastels, mixed media, photographs, cold wax & oil artwork. Art patrons can enjoy a diverse approach in both representational and abstract styles.

       The number of artist members who create three-dimensional artwork at ACGOW has grown. In June there will be an array of pottery, fiber arts, sculpture in bronze and stone, handcrafted wooden bowls, tables, boxes and vibrantly colored fused glass. On display will also be a stunning selection of colorful handcrafted earrings, pendants, rings and bracelets created with both polymer clay and lampwork glass.

       Through the United in Arts Community Gallery, ACGOW continues its mission to support and nurture the visual arts in the community by exhibiting the work of different groups in the area. In June, we are pleased to present the work of the Southeastern Connecticut Life Drawing Group. (See more about this group by clicking the button above.)

       This month's show is made possible with the support of three generous sponsors. Drs. Nina and Edward Rossomando, now retired, are esteemed patrons of the arts and engaged members of the Westerly community. Gordons’s Ink, an additional sponsor, provides the highest quality custom digital printing. In addition, Perks and Corks, an iconic Westerly martini bar and coffee shop at 62 High Street, Westerly, RI is a sustaining sponsor that donates wine every month for the First Friday Opening Reception.

       In addition to her feature, Tammy Blais will offer two, two-hour oil painting classes this month in which she will share with participants her techniques using a palette knife. Participants will produce a finished oil painting of their own. See more about them on our Events and Education pages (click PARTICIPATE) for details.
