About the host
Hosted by Kenneth Hussey
As the proprietor of the Scranton Mansion Guest House, Executive Director of the Rossetti Foundation for the Arts and Culture, and as the host at the Gallery on Vine, I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant space located within the historic Rossetti Estate in Scranton. Originally from Boston Massachusetts, I have always had a deep appreciation for the arts and the role they play in enriching our lives and communities. My passion for hosting stems from my belief that art has the power to connect people, spark conversations, and inspire creativity.
I enjoy bringing people together to share in the experience of art, whether it’s through engaging exhibitions, interactive workshops, or community events. Each gathering provides an opportunity to celebrate the unique talents of local artists while fostering a sense of belonging among attendees. I believe that when we come together to appreciate art, we not only support the artists but also strengthen the bonds within our community.
Being a part of the community is incredibly important to me. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and learning about their perspectives on art and culture. Hosting allows me to create an inviting and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome to explore their creativity and connect with others. My goal is to ensure that every guest leaves feeling inspired and enriched by their experience at the Gallery on Vine.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you, as we celebrate the beauty of art and the incredible community we have here in Scranton. There is so much to see.
