Art Galleries in Westerly, RI

“What a cool store for all of your souvenir wishes, between t-shirts/hoodies, toys for the kids, little throw back toys for us adults, candy, local soda, and so much more. I found a license plate which is something I collect everywhere I go, and this was the only place that had one. Also, the owner(s)? Were so friendly and made me feel super welcome the instant I walked in, and even as I walked out. Beautiful shop, and can’t wait to journey back around here, again!”

“My friend Sherry mentioned this gallery, improbably located at the Amtrak station located just outside downtown Westerly. I was skeptical but as I had a couple of hours to kill before an event at the United Theater I had nothing to lose by stopping in. I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover what a find this gallery was. I love art, museums, and galleries, and this was well worth my time. There are several rooms of art ranging from jewelry to glassware, pottery, prints, paintings and more. I had no intention of buying anything and I was tempted by the paintings, most of which were in my price range, but succumbed to a gorgeous bracelet, a charming bowl, and a set of wine glasses (all shown below). The person at the front desk greeted me but then let me roam to my heart's content. When I checked out she explained that the gallery rotated its items on a monthly basis (I think that's what she said). I spent an hour there appreciating every one of the items on display; the prices varied so you are sure to find something there at your price point. There was also a special small exhibit featuring African American artists, which I very much appreciated as an African-American myself. This gallery is a hidden gem. One more reason for me to return to the town of Westerly soon, and I am sure not to leave empty-handed!”

“Julie puts a lot of effort into her teaching and her painting and the results of both are pretty amazing. Her paintings are so spectacular in their color and their contrasts and as a student of Julie’s I have to say she works hard at relating to each student on our individual level.”

“I found the perfect picture that I had been searching for over a long period of time. As soon as I saw it in their window, I knew it was the picture I had been hoping to find. The whole experience of getting to choose my framing and matting with the owners was delightful. A+ result!”
