Our Guest Artist for Our June Salon
About Nancy Whittaker, owner of Museo Art Gallery, Langley, WA
Nancy Whittaker is the co-owner, with her husband, Michael Dickter, an artist, of Museo Gallery
in Langley, as well as the director of the gallery. Previously Nancy worked for The Burke
Museum, assisting them with their move to a new location and opening a new store. Nancy was
also the manager of The Bellevue Arts Museum store where she worked for seven years. She
has also consulted with The Nordic Heritage Museum in opening their new store, participated in
several art juries, and has served on the board of Directors for The Northwest Art Alliance and
The Museum Store Association, and was a commissioner on The Kirkland Arts Council.
Nancy and Michael purchased Museo in 2018 and moved to Whidbey a year later. Nancy’s
experience and knowledge in museum store retailing has expanded Museo’s focus to include
both the fine arts concentration of the gallery’s past with a new interest in functional crafts,
decorative gifts, and jewelry.
When not working, which is never, or almost never, Nancy is walking her dog, riding her bike,
and reading. Often she can be found talking about art, the business of art, and the practice of
art with Michael (which might still count as working).
