New York Foundation for the Arts, Eric Adams celebrate Brooklyn’s newest women arts leaders
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams are celebrating three recently appointed women leaders of prominent Brooklyn cultural organizations: Katy Clark, president of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM); Charlotte Cohen, executive director of the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC); and Anne Pasternak, director of the Brooklyn Museum. On Thursday, March 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., a special reception in their honor will be held at NYFA’s space in DUMBO.
2016 will mark these women’s first year in their new roles, and NYFA and Adams are taking this opportunity to acknowledge their individual contributions while also celebrating the diverse artistic and cultural history of the borough. By bringing in world-class national and international artists and supporting Brooklyn-based arts communities, these institutions are a vital part of the cultural life of the borough and city of New York.
