"I look forward to working closely with Darren, who brings a strong vision and knowledge into the role at a vital and exciting time in the National Gallery's trajectory," Kaywin Feldman, the NGA's director, said. "Mitch's steadfast leadership as a trustee for 18 years, with the past five years as president, has been a model of service to the National Gallery and our nation."
"Walker has helmed the Ford Foundation since 2013, during which time its visual-art programme has gained new prominence. He has championed the foundation's pursuit of social-justice philanthropy, while also partnering with the NGA to create an acquisition fund for the gallery."
"That fund provided support to the NGA's 2022 presentation of Afro-Atlantic Histories, a major travelling exhibition that originated at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo and the Instituto Tomie Ohtake in Brazil in 2018."
"Prior to his time at the Ford Foundation, Walker was the chief operating officer at the Abyssinian Development Corporation in Harlem and the vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation."
