On April 5 Kendal will host a Zoom lecture, “The Hudson River Museum Here and Now... and Coming Soon”
In 2020, the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers was recognized by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation with an Art Museum Futures Fund for “visionary leadership, distinctive collections, and commitment to community, as well as historically overlooked artists and histories.”
Director and CEO since 2016 Masha Turchinsky oversees a $12.3 million capital expansion and improvement project that will inaugurate dedicated exhibition galleries and a sculpture court, a new community and partnership gallery, and state-of-the-art collection storage.
Prior to her Hudson River Museum appointment, Ms. Turchinsky worked for 19 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a consultant, she currently serves on ArtTable’s national Board of Directors dedicated to advancing the leadership of women in the arts. She holds an Ed.M. in International Educational Development from Columbia Teachers College, an MA in Education from NYU, and a BS in Russian from Georgetown.
Watch for the email Zoom invitation, and be sure to join us for this lecture. After all, it’s sort of our “hometown” museum and demands our attention and support.
