Changing of the Guard
The Parrish Art Museum has announced a reconfigured board of trustees as it heads into its 10th year in its Herzog & de Meuron-designed building in Water Mill. The new co-chairs are Frederick M. Seegal and Alexandra Stanton, who will lead the museum into a new era.
“We are thrilled to take on this position at such a critical moment for arts institutions,” said the co-chairs. “It is incumbent on us to be responsive to the people we serve, and as the Parrish continues to honor the rich artistic legacy of the East End, we are dedicated to expanding that legacy to embrace artists from historically underrepresented groups of the region including the Shinnecock Indian Nation, and the LGBTQ, Latinx, and Black communities.”
The other officers are Sean Cohan and Timothy G. Davis, co-presidents; Sandy Perlbinder, vice president, George Wells, treasurer, and Martha McLanahan, secretary.
The museum recently announced the appointment of Melanie Crader as deputy director, effective Feb. 22. A search for a new director is underway.
