The Katonah Museum of Art is a non-collecting institution geared towards visual arts, located in Katonah, New York. It does not have a permanent collection, but holds temporary exhibitions.[1][3][4]
The museum was founded in 1953, in one room at the local library.[1] In 1990 it moved to a separate building, designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes.[3][5] The cost of the new building was $5.3 million.[3]
In 1993 The New York Times said that the museum had 50,000 visitors a year.[1]
The museum uses the services of volunteers.[3][6]
At the time of moving to the new building in 1990, George G. King was the director of the museum.[3] He was succeeded by Susan H. Edwards in 1998.[3][6] In 2022, Michael Gitlitz was reported to have been the museum's Executive Director until 2021.[2] Leslie Griesbach Schultz was Interim Executive Director from 2021 to 2022.[2] Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe was appointed as Executive Director in 2022.[2]
