Old love songs sketch the outline, but real love is the brushstroke that turns it into something worth looking at.
In February, the artists of ACGOW translate the timeless emotion of beloved love songs into visual form. Each themed piece reimagines the melodies, lyrics, and moods that have shaped generations, capturing the tenderness, longing and joy that define true love. Through color, texture and personal perspective, the exhibit celebrates how music and art intertwine.
All are invited to the Opening Reception that will feature artist-made hors d’oeuvres as well as wine generously provided by Perks and Corks of Westerly.
February’s show will include the work of both juried and associate artists of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Work on view include a large selection of mediums, traditional and non-traditional paintings, encaustics, mixed media, photography, pottery, mobiles, fiber arts, glass, and sculpture. In addition, visitors can view a large collection of unique handcrafted jewelry made of polymer clay, lamp work glass beads, leather, sterling silver and much more in our Gallery Shop.

The Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly (ACGOW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1992 by local artists. Managed and operated entirely by members who volunteer their time, ACGOW is dedicated to supporting and nurturing the visual arts in the greater Westerly–Pawcatuck community by fostering appreciation for the arts, building creative connections, and providing artists with opportunities to develop, exhibit, and sell their work.
ACGOW presents a new art exhibition each month, showcasing high-quality, original artwork from its more approximately 50 juried artist members. Opening Receptions are ordinarily the First Friday of the month. The gallery is located at 14 Railroad Avenue in the former Westerly Train Station—an historic landmark built in 1912 in the Spanish Renaissance style.
Various forms of membership are available. Click for more information HERE.
