Framingham's Danforth Art names new director
Danforth Art in Framingham has a new executive director, Debra Petke.
The leaders of the organization formerly called the Danforth Art Museum, chose Petke after a national search. She will succeed Katherine French, who retired Jan. 1.
Petke most recently served as president and CEO of the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Conn.
The Danforth was founded in 1975. It conducts art education programs and houses a collection of American art from the 18th century to the present,
“This is an institution that began as a grassroots organization by dedicated citizens and for 40 years has provided those citizens, and the whole region, with countless exhibitions, art classes, and programs,” Petke said.
Petke said the future for the institution includes moving to the Jonathan Maynard building on the historic Framingham Centre Common.
