The museum’s first female leader says her initial challenge is to get to know her surroundings.
The new director of the National Gallery of Art, Kaywin Feldman, visits with Melissa Turner and Judy Moore at the museum’s recent “Evenings at the Edge” program. By Peggy McGlone Peggy McGlone Reporter covering the arts in the Washington region Email Bio Follow March 20 at 4:46 PM Kaywin Feldman crossed the still sunny atrium of the East Building of the National Gallery of Art a little after 6 p.m.
Kaywin Feldman’s first day on the job was March 11, and her first week was crammed with activities, including the “Evenings at the Edge” event. The federally supported museum is renowned for its collection of masterworks, including pieces by Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso and Pollock, and it attracts about 5 million visitors annually to its two buildings and sculpture garden. But the gallery faces serious challenges.
“It’s good to have a one-day deep dive, to experience what all new employees experience,” Feldman said of the session. Her main takeaway? “The commitment to excellence, at every department, at every level. And the warmth and enthusiasm of the presenters. They love this place.”Mel Harper, a member of the education department, noted Feldman’s positivity and humor.
Feldman rolls up her sleeves to create a silk screen with teaching artist Aliana Grace Bailey. “I am delighted that Rusty’s exemplary service has been recognized with an emeritus status,” Feldman said. “Rusty is a tremendous resource for both me and the board of trustees, and I look forward to taking advantage of his years of experience and insight.”
