MAD Museum in New York seeks new director with fundraising expertise

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York is celebrating its 60th anniversary and has launched a search for a new director. The museum, with an annual budget of $10 million and a 28-member board, aims to become an essential destination for an international audience. Its permanent collection spans art, craft, and design from 1950 to the present. The new director will replace interim director Robert Cundall and must have at least ten years of experience in a similar role, with strong fundraising skills. The museum's recent success is attributed to its prime Manhattan location and robust cultural programming, which have attracted diverse audiences and positive press. The new leader is expected to elevate the museum's profile as a center of innovation and transform it into a national and global cultural brand.
