Kingston Gallery is delighted to welcome our new Gallery Manager, Olivia Slaughter.

May 9, 2025
Olivia’s rigorous professional art career and deep knowledge of contemporary art, combined with their experience in community building and day-to-day gallery management, will ensure that Kingston Gallery’s mission will continue to expand. According to Slaughter, “Kingston Gallery holds a pivotal place in Boston’s SoWa Arts District, not only as a space for showcasing groundbreaking art but also as a community that encourages dialogue and inclusivity. I envision building on this legacy.” Olivia spent their first weeks at the gallery getting to know the artists and their work and understanding Kingston Gallery’s long history in the Boston contemporary art world. With Olivia’s fresh vision, we look forward to a future of innovation and growth. Olivia is behind the desk at the gallery on Thursdays and Fridays, from noon - 5pm. Stop by to see what’s on exhibit and introduce yourself to Olivia.
