We are thrilled to welcome to that Board a new member, Blair W. Effron, whose engagement with the arts has expressed itself in an exemplary manner through years of service on the boards of several cultural organizations in the city."Adds Anne Poulet, "The institution anticipates an exciting year ahead, featuring strong exhibition, education, and publication programs; the inauguration of our Portico Gallery in the fall; and the beginning of Ian Wardropper's tenure as my successor.
