Westport has a rich heritage as an artists' community, which continues today with a vibrant, local arts scene. Our goal is to honor this legacy by making the arts accessible to everyone.
Our three galleries of rotating exhibits provide visitors with the opportunity to experience original work by local artists. The Library's permanent art collection and ongoing arts programming further demonstrate our deep commitment to the local and regional arts community.
Featured exhibits change on a regular basis. If you would like to suggest an idea for an exhibit, please review the Exhibit Inquiry Guidelines.

To be unveiled on June 20 and on display through September 2
Sheffer Gallery: June 20 through September 2
On display are works showing how each artist conveys an idea through visual language. By assigning a one-word title to their piece, they invite the viewer to contemplate the meaning of the word as it relates to their work.
Jesup Gallery: June 20 through September 2
The reveal of Piece by Piece will occur on Thursday, June 20, at 6:30 pm
Piece by Piece is a 6-foot by 8-foot art installation composed of the work of 48 Artists Collective members. Each artist received a 12-inch by 12-inch blank panel along with a 6-inch square section randomly selected from a single contemporary painting.
The collective artists created their individual piece, replicating a part of the larger work in their own style, without knowing what the final combined image would look like until it gets revealed at the opening reception
