The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillipscollection.org\/press\/phillips-collection-announces-jonathan-p-binstock-its-new-director\">Phillips made the announcement<\/a> on Wednesday, November 30.<\/p>\n<p>A prominent scholar of modern and contemporary art, Binstock has served as the Mary W. and Donald R. Clark Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mag.rochester.edu\">Memorial Art Gallery<\/a> since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan\u2019s vision as a leader and a scholar has helped reaffirm the Memorial Art Gallery\u2019s position as a cultural treasure for the University and for the Greater Rochester region,\u201d says University President Sarah Mangelsdorf. \u201cHis legacy will live on in his innovative ideas on how the arts and creativity enrich our lives and our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Phillips Collection, Binstock will help lead the museum into its second century. Founded in 1921, the private museum houses one of the world\u2019s most celebrated collections of Impressionist and modern art. With diverse and experimental special exhibitions and events, the museum has created award-winning educational programs for educators, students, and adults while continuing to grow its collection with important contemporary voices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeading MAG has been a great honor,\u201d Binstock says. \u201cMAG exemplifies the many ways in which a museum and its tremendously dedicated curators, teachers, and staff can engage with many communities to educate and inspire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plans for interim leadership at MAG and for a search to succeed Binstock will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"large-up-3\">\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 0px;\"><a
