"Funderburke announced her decision to step down from the ACA, an organization that provides support and resources for artists and artist residencies, earlier this month. In a January 20 email, ACA Board Chair Kibra Yohannes celebrated Funderburke's "exemplary service." "With Lisa's partnership, we built a board that is more reflective of our field," Yohannes said. "We grew organizational capacity and increased support for artists. We deepened our commitment to access, moving from a transactional membership model to a values-based network.""
"The Newark Museum of Art is New Jersey's largest fine art museum, with 300,000 objects spanning art, science, and natural history. Funderburke takes the helm as institutions across the country confront new challenges under the Trump administration. Before leading ACA, Funderburke served as the associate director of the McColl Center for Art + Innovation in Charlotte, North Carolina. She served on the boards of the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies,"
Lisa Funderburke will become the next president and chief executive of the Newark Museum of Art after nine years at the Artist Communities Alliance. She succeeds Linda Harrison, who left the role last year after a six-year tenure. ACA Board Chair Kibra Yohannes praised Funderburke's leadership, noting a more reflective board, increased organizational capacity, greater support for artists, and a shift to a values-based network. The Newark Museum of Art holds 300,000 objects spanning art, science, and natural history. Funderburke previously served at the McColl Center and on multiple national arts boards, and she holds a Master's in biology from Howard University.
