The Watertown Free Public Library hosts monthly exhibits on the 2nd floor of the library in the T. Ross Kelly Family Gallery. We accept applications from artists and groups who want to share their work with Watertown.
For other questions or comments, please email the gallery curator: jkallestad@watertown-ma.gov
The gallery bears the name of Mr. Kelly, a longtime resident of Watertown and significant donor to the library building fund. He retired in 2019 after 50 years' tenure as an award winning professor of chemistry at Boston College. Kelly has been active in Watertown affairs as a town meeting member under that earlier form of government, and has regularly volunteered at the Museum of Science. He and his family are regular library users and supporters.
