Spring Cleaning Art Sale in Salem

SALEM, MA - Kensington-Stobart Gallery in Salem’s historic Hawthorne Hotel has announced an exhibition of works featuring paintings, fine art posters and works on paper from the vast collection of local historian Jim McAllister.

Jim has been collecting art for more than two decades and is planning to sell much of his inventory in an attempt to reclaim living space in his domicile and shed his growing reputation as a hoarder. Twenty very reasonably priced pieces are now available for sale and others will be added over the course of the next month.

The initial offering includes an oil painting of South Street in Rockport by Rosa Silva, works by Cape Ann artists Max Kuehne, Ann Fiske, and Charles Allan Winter, a pair of fine art posters, a number of watercolors related to the Massachusetts coast, and an eclectic assortment of other pieces.

All are invited to stop by the gallery to view and enjoy this varied collection. The show runs through February 29.

Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday, 10am-5pm; Saturday and Sunday, 12pm-5pm. For more information call, The Kensington-Stobart Gallery at 978-825-0022.

This exhibition is free and open to the public.
