Team Update from Abigail Ogilvy Gallery

From our Founder, Abigail Ogilvy:

We were so thrilled to officially re-open our doors to the public on September 2nd. The gallery has new social distancing measures in place, limiting our capacity to 5 visitors at a time, hand sanitizer at the doorway, and free masks for anyone who may have forgotten to bring one. Visitors can safely scan the QR code to find more information about our current show, making it an entirely touch-free visit. Life will be different moving forward across all sectors, but we will always find ways to adapt and adjust accordingly so that we can continue to support our artists.

I am also very excited to share some updates in terms of our team at Abigail Ogilvy Gallery. In May of this year, Kaylee Hennessey joined us full time as our Assistant Director. Kaylee has been working with AOG part time since 2018 while she attended MassArt, receiving a BFA in Art History with a minor in Fibers. After graduating with Academic and Departmental Honors, Kaylee joined the staff at the brand new MassArt Art Museum (MaaM) and was instrumental in launching their first exhibition featuring a large-scale installation by Joana Vasconcelos. Kaylee brings a wide range of experience to our team along with a passion for supporting the Boston arts and our local institutions. In addition to her busy schedule, she also co-founded House of Venus, “a domestic, avant garde, and revolutionary exhibition experience that pushes for the introduction and breakthrough of young talent.” 

In early September, Kaylee and I welcomed Lexi Fee as our newest Gallery Associate. Lexi will focus on marketing strategy and client relations, bringing her experience from working at the Fine Art Works Center, Boston Women’s Fund, Artechouse, and Rice Polak Gallery. She received her BA from George Washington University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a double major in English & Creative Writing, and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Lexi is currently pursuing a Masters in Arts Administration at Boston University. 

While all aspects of 2020 have been unexpected, having a strong team has been crucial for reaching our mission of supporting our artists’ careers . With a global pandemic happening around us, we will end the year having hosted 10 exhibitions: 5 at the gallery, 2 New York art fairs, and 3 online exhibitions. I am incredibly proud of my nimble and hard working team for all that they do — they make all of this possible. 

We look forward to continuing to share our artists’ work with you!
