Guest Juror: Gretchen Sinnett

Gretchen Sinnett is an Associate Professor of Art History and former Chair in the Art + Design department at Salem State University. Her courses explore how art and visual culture both reflect and help shape the societies from which they emerge. She believes that close looking and visual analysis benefit students in all disciplines and especially enjoys teaching courses that draw students from across the university. Her scholarship focuses on representations of girlhood and adolescence in 19th-century American art. She lives in Melrose with her husband and son, who just graduated from college, plus two bossy Siamese cats.

Open Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Salem Arts Association Galleries, 159 Derby Street, Salem MA 01970
