Located on the third floor of Overture Center for the Arts, the James Watrous Gallery is free and open to the public.
Be sure to check the Exhibitions and Events page to ensure the gallery will be open when you plan to visit. After each exhibition ends, we close for 2-3 weeks to install the next exhibition.
Regular Hours: Thursday - Sunday, 12:00 - 5:00 pm.
The gallery is also open by appointment or chance. Group tours are welcome. Please email or call to arrange a tour or a visit outside regular hours.
We will be closed on Easter Sunday, Juneteenth (June 19), July 4, Thanksgiving Day, and (in 2026-27) December 24 - January 1.
