Laguna Art Museum has tapped Julie Perlin Lee, outgoing executive director of Catalina Island Museum, to lead the storied organization amid a pandemic that has devastated art institutions across the country.
Lee succeeds Malcolm Warner who retired in December after a nine-year run with Laguna Art Museum. She’s set to start her new role on May 3.
“With Julie we have a person with strong experience managing exhibitions and collections, and yet someone with experience in senior level museum administration,” said Joe Hanauer, chair of Laguna Art Museum’s Board of Trustees. “It’s typically one or the other, but usually not both.”
