Leslie Anderson will lead the museum’s relocation to the heart of Winter Park.
Rollins College President Brooke Barnett announced today the appointment of Leslie Anderson as the new Bruce A. Beal Executive Director of the Rollins Museum of Art (RMA). Anderson will begin her tenure on September 15.
“We are pleased to welcome Leslie Anderson as the new executive director of Rollins Museum of Art,” said Barnett. “Her impressive experience and commitment to innovation will enrich RMA for our students and visitors, and her leadership will be invaluable as we continue our plans to relocate our art collections, exhibits, and programs to downtown Winter Park.”
Anderson has served in critical roles at Seattle’s National Nordic Museum (NNM), including as chief curator and director of collections, exhibitions, and programs. Before her positions at NNM, she served as curator of European, American, and regional art for the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) at the University of Utah.
“With its unparalleled collection of contemporary and historic art, the Rollins Museum of Art is a true treasure for both the campus and the Central Florida region,” said Anderson. “I’m thrilled to lead the forward-thinking team who will bring to life the new purpose-built facility—one point of an ‘innovation triangle’ designed to convene communities around art and ideas.”
