Falmouth Artists Guild Founders Exhibit Gallery

Known as “Cangy,” Angelo Cangiamila (1913-1996) is considered the founder of the Falmouth Artists Guild. As an engineer and illustrator at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), he invited those interested in art to take classes with him at his home in Falmouth Heights. Students would set up easels in the Cangiamila garage. Eventually, the group moved to the town’s Recreation Center on East Main Street and then the Poor House next door.
