Located in the heart of downtown Salem, the Kensington-Stobart Gallery is tucked into the side of the historic Hawthorne Hotel. The gallery features exhibits that rotate on a monthly basis. Primarily highlighting paintings, the gallery also emphasizes local artists using various mediums. Maritime artist John Stobart is one important contributor to the gallery's display and collection, although the exhibits do feature more than solely maritime art. All pieces displayed within the gallery are available for purchase.
