The Keyes Gallery

An Exhibition SPACE AT THE WILLOUGHBY WALLACE MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The Keyes Gallery

The Keyes Gallery is named in honor of Morgan Keyes, a Stony Creek resident, who donated funds to the library campaign for the 2002 renovation project. Since the renovation was completed, the Keyes Gallery has provided space for monthly art exhibitions, children’s story times, author events, concerts, cultural programs and many community meetings.

Keyes Gallery Mission: The Keyes Gallery at the Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, is an exhibition space dedicated to providing enrichment, education, and cultural enjoyment to the local community as well as visitors from far and wide. A cycle of changing exhibitions introduces the work of emerging and established Connecticut visual artists.
