Guyer Art Barn

Our History

The Guyer Art Barn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1865 by Captain Sidney Crowell. Arthur Guyer, a pharmacist for whom it was later named, acquired the barn at the turn of 20th century. In 1959, the Town of Barnstable acquired the building, but it was not until 1986 that the Board of Selectmen approved the use of the building as a gallery. Pat Curcio who served as director for many years, was an accomplished artist in her own right and a champion of the arts in Hyannis. The arts community will sorely miss her tireless dedication and endless hours committed to the Guyer Art Barn.

Opening receptions for art exhibits usually on Sundays.
