The Newark Museum of Art (NMOA) in New Jersey has named Lisa Funderburke as its next director and CEO, beginning February 1.
Prior to the Artist Communities Alliance, Funderburke served as associate director of McColl Center for Art + Innovation and as director of the Charlotte Nature Museum, both in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Peter Englot, the museum’s board chair, told the Times that Funderburke was selected from a pool of several dozen candidates via a nationwide search.
In a statement, Funderburke said, “Museums are most vital when they are responsive, collaborative, and deeply connected to the communities they serve.
One of these slots was filled on Tuesday, when NYU’s Grey Art Museum appointed Alison Weaver to the directorship.
