ALBANY MUSEUM OF ART NAMES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Albany Museum of Art has made Paula Bacon Williams the museum’s permanent executive director, reports the Albany Herald’s Carlton Fletcher. As director from 1987 to 1993, Williams led the museum through its first accreditation. She’s served as the Albany Museum of Art’s interim director since August.

“In the nine-month period that she has been in the interim position, the museum has made major strides: with a sound financial footing, increased membership, and an exciting education and exhibition schedule for the upcoming year,” said museum president Kirk Rouse.
