She starts at the Newark Museum on Monday. The museum has benefited indirectly from federal funds that flow to New Jersey but that are jeopardized in the current political climate. Englot said, “We need to inspire new generations of philanthropists.”The post Newark Museum of Art Names a New Leader appeared first on New York Times.
