Revolving Door: Hope Alswang, RISD Museum of Arts Director Unexpectedly Resigns, While OKeeffe Museum Names Interim Director
Posted in: Uncategorized
Two pieces of news coming from two museums we’ve been reporting on recently. First, Rhode Island School of Design‘s Museum of Art‘s director Hope Alswang, who we just quoted a short time ago as she explained the museum’s reasons for closing for the month of August, has announced that she is resigning, effective immediately (the school’s press release announcing the retirement is here in PDF form). Alswang gave no specific reason for the exit, saying only that she is leaving to “pursue other opportunities.” Ann Woolsey, the museum’s current assistant director for planning, has stepped in as the interim director. And second, speaking of interim directors, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, who was last seen battling Fisk University over the sale of several paintings they were given by O’Keeffe, have named Carl Brown as their temporary replacement for their former director, George G. King. Brown was the director of finance and human resources at the museum and will be taking over until a full-time replacement for King can be found.
