My friend Sherry mentioned this gallery, improbably located at the Amtrak station located just…read moreoutside 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!

I was entertaining guests for the holiday season and wanted very much to visit the gallery…read more A few days ago, we stopped by the front door and checked the hours they were open. According to the posting on the front door, they are open on Wednesdays. Today, we checked the website and and verified the hours they were open as well as Google indicated they were open. We drove all the way to Westerly only to find the place closed up tight. No where did it say they were going to be closed today. We are very disappointed in the lack of communications as to their actual hours. The only avenue we did not exercise was to make a telephone call to verify they would be open. Lesson learned on our part. If they cannot adequately advertise the hours they will be open, they should at least tell people who visit their website, to CALL FIRST; before showing up to closed doors. We gave this place every opportunity but we will not bother going back. If their communication skills are any indication of how the place is managed, I do not think it is worth our while to visit. I am thinking they are closed because there is nothing on Exhibit. The walls were vacant. If there is nothing on Exhibit and you take the time to announce the next Exhibit on your website, you might want to inform potential visitors that the Gallery is CLOSED between Exhibits. Most reputable art galleries have rotating exhibits. This allows the Gallery to be open daily and a variety of artists to display on a rotating basis. We are very disappointed but thanks for an important lesson. Trust no one without a call first.

You get what you pay for. Chain stores may be faster, but you'll have this on your wall for years to come. Don't you want it done by an expert? I really appreciate the skill and care shown by Black Duck Gallery! (And if you have a little wait time, you can enjoy their gallery of art and prints for sale at very reasonable prices!)

Sadly, there are no living sharks in the Living Shark Museum, but you'll see plenty of shark models, shark teeth and (yes) jaws, shark egg cases, South Sea weapons made with shark teeth, and lots of Jaws movie stuff.

Very well-maintained with a small bar and snacks stand; the gallery portion featured unusual prints and artwork.

The executive director of the organization was on hand to greet people when they came and when they left, showing the dedication of the staff. I will definitely be back for another show.
