SIDNEY MUSEUM AND ARTS ASSOCIATION - Key Persons

Amy Burnett

Amy Burnett has interacted with the Sidney Art Gallery almost from the beginning. She moved back to Bremerton from Seattle in the '70s and was soon involved with the South Kitsap Artists, Brad Buskirk's Manette gallery and Viking Fest, and soon took notice of the Sidney Gallery in Port Orchard. The director at the time was Helen Norris, who would soon become a best friend to Amy and in the late '80s surprised her by turning up at a feature art opening in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In July and August 2021, her exhibition "Isolation - Artist Behind Glass" were featured at the Sidney Art Gallery. Amy Burnett is the judge for the 2024 Helen Norris Open Art Show at the Sidney Art Gallery.
