The Westboro Gallery, which has been honored as Boston Magazine's "2008 Best of Boston Home Award in recognition of quality and excellence," presents works by established and talented emerging Central New England artists and artisans. Since 1998 the not-for-profit cooperative's mission has been to bring art to the community and to support its members, enabling them to show and sell their work. The gallery also sponsors a high school art scholarship and presents occasional cultural and educational events for the public.
The gallery's intimate space displays unique works in a variety of mediums including: painting, collage, photography, pastel, monotype, mixed media, etching, sculpture, ceramic, and jewelry. The collection of work encompasses a diversity of styles ranging from realism to abstract. Prices range from $3 to $3000.
Westboro Gallery exhibitions change every 3 months and include a featured artist while also displaying the work of the core artists.
The gallery has a satellite location at Tatnuck Bookseller & Cafe, 19 Lyman St. (a large dedicated exhibition space) where art is shown and may be purchased. The Westboro Gallery and the exhibition space at Tatnuck Bookseller & Café, both are wheelchair accessible, with parking at the door.
The board of directors examines portfolios and works of those wishing to be juried in for membership at its monthly meetings.
