Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art has decided to follow what is now becoming a trend among arts and culture institutions: It’s split the CEO position into two separate roles, appointing one individual focused on business and finance and another on artistic direction and strategy.
The news comes on the heels of similar changes made by the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and Goodspeed Musicals in Connecticut.
Goodspeed Musicals, operator of the historic theater in East Haddam, named its first woman artistic director and a new managing director this week.
Artistic Director Donna Lynn Hilton and Managing Director David B. Byrd will form a leadership team that will take the place of Michael Gennaro, Goodspeed’s executive director who retired last year.
“We are thrilled to begin a fresh chapter in Goodspeed’s history with Donna Lynn Hilton and David Byrd as our new leaders,” said Hila Rosen, president of the Goodspeed Board of Trustees. “At a time when all theaters have been shocked to their core and are fighting to survive, they bring an exciting new vision for Goodspeed that will undoubtedly secure an even brighter future for our historic theater.”
