Revolving Door: Derrick Cartwright to Take Over as Seattle Art Museum's New Director

With the Seattle Art Museum‘s roller coaster of a year thus far (the last piece of news came late last month, with things seeming to be more on the up at the moment), they’ve just taken on a new director to step into the middle of the fray. The museum has announced that Derrick Cartwright will be taking over for Mimi Gates, who is leaving after fifteen years there, as of June. Cartwright comes in from the San Diego Museum of Art, which he has led for the past five years, reportedly growing it quite a bit in short order.
