The Watertown Free Public Library has a rich cultural history. From the founding of the library, artists have donated their works so that many may enjoy their treasures. Solon Whitney, the first librarian, lamented the lack of a space to display art works in the newly built library on Main Street. From his annual report of 1884: “It is a great disappointment to me that there is no room in the new building which can be a kind of museum of works of art.” He went on to say that he would find places to display the art works as best as he could. Again in 1885, he mentions the lack of space, and makes a case for the purchase of display cases for special collections.Over 100 years later, we remain committed to Whitney's vision of maintaining and displaying a permanent art collection at the Watertown Free Public Library. These treasures add to the quality of life of the citizens of Watertown and we feel an obligation to publicize and promote them. We hope you take some time to explore our collection by browsing the photographs below and discovering artwork on display throughout the library.

Watertown Public Arts & Culture is collaborating with several community stakeholders to commemorate the life and work of the former surrealist artist Arshile Gorky, who, notably, forged the birth of Abstract Expressionism in the United States. After surviving the 1915 Armenian genocide and its aftermath, Gorky arrived in Watertown in February 1920 as part of a third wave of Armenians immigrants arriving in the United States to escape persecution. He lived in Watertown with his sisters until late 1924 to early 1925, when he moved to New York City. Gorky’s impact on art history and his continued influence on contemporary art cannot be overstated. Watertown has long been a haven for Armenian immigrants and the East End of Watertown, where Gorky lived, is proud to be the home of several Armenian art and cultural organizations. The working group is led jointly by resident Jack Dargon and Public Arts and Culture Planner, Liz Helfer, with support from The Armenian Museum of Watertown, Mosesian Center for the Arts, and the Historical Society of Watertown.

Painted steel and found objects, completed in 2023. On view from May 2025 until 2027.Over the course of my career, I have been concerned with creating work that is drawn from elements found in nature and the mechanical world. I am interested in finding architectural order emerging from nature and translating that into sculpture.This piece was inspired by observing coral formations while snorkeling. Although there was a randomness to the shapes in the coral reef, there was also interplay of a variety of geometric forms: the colors were vivid and amazing. My concept here was to use the memory of these snorkeling experiences and translate them into an outdoor sculpture.
