DONNA DUSSAULT 

The Owner, Donna Dussault, has both museum and gallery experience. After graduating from Boston University she completed advanced degrees from Harvard University in Museum Studies and Studio Arts, Film and Photography. Her internship for the Museum Studies Program was completed at the Photo Archives Department, Peabody Museum at Harvard University. The subject of her thesis for the Studio Arts, Film and Photography degree was Berenice Abbott's Route 1. While always having a passion for the arts, her first employment position was in the investment industry at a prominent firm where she was a registered commodity broker.

Deciding to pursue her passion, she left the business world to work in the arts. She supported the arts in many volunteer positions including Art in the Park at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA which lead to employment at the Harvard University Art Museums where, among other projects, she worked on the documentation of the Walter Gropius Archives at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. She also documented the fine art collection of the Harvard Club of Boston as well as private collections. She served as a member of the Fine Arts Committee of the Harvard Club of Boston and as the President of the Manchester Historical Museum, and as a member of the Historic District Commission in Manchester-by-the Sea, MA.
