As the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly celebrates its 30th year of sharing art, the artists celebrate the beauty of the parks and gardens that surround and inspire them. This month’s show at the Gallery, “Parks & Gardens” is vibrant with work that reflects the magic of the local landscapes.

Photographer Gerry Matteo and painter Richard Inserra are featured artists. In addition, June’s show will also be alive with colorful floral arrangements from the Ocean Community YMCA Garden Club.

“Art in Bloom” is their annual June tradition of sharing in the creative process. Each participating club member will select a work of art as inspiration for a unique floral interpretation.

Opening reception is 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 3.

Matteo, a seasoned photographer, spent 30 years teaching in Connecticut before settling in Charlestown, R.I., after retiring. Many photos are subjects from the great outdoors, including Lotus Leaf, Tulip, and Newport Pell Bridge. Inserra, a self-taught painter after over 30 years in the insurance and management field, employs realism with idealistic or ethereal touches. However, from time to time he will do pieces that are impressionistic or abstract.

ACGOW’s approximately 50 other elected artists will also participate in the June show in a wide variety of two- and three-dimensional mediums. This varied collection includes a large selection of oils, watercolors, acrylics, multimedia, mobiles, photographs, pottery, handcrafted jewelry, fiber arts, glass, sculpture, and more.
