Eleanor is also the current Vice Chair of GIA&#8217;s board.<\/p>\n<p><!--break--><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe world and the worlds of arts and culture are more complex than ever. The ways of making art and recognizing the work of artists is evolving,\u201d Savage said. \u201cI\u2019m deeply honored to build on Jerome Hill\u2019s legacy by connecting, listening and responding to create with artists the opportunities that further their efforts to make meaning, tell untold stories and engage in world building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savage, currently the Jerome Foundation\u2019s program director, will assume the president and CEO role May 1, 2023. She succeeds Ben Cameron, the private foundation\u2019s leader since 2015. He retires after a diverse career with significant contributions to the arts community and philanthropic organizations. Cameron followed Cindy Gehrig, Jerome\u2019s president for 38 years, a critical advocate in arts philanthropy for supporting individual artists.<\/p>\n<p>The Jerome Foundation, founded in 1964 by the late artist\/painter\/photographer\/composer\/ screenwriter and Academy Award-winning film director and philanthropist Jerome Hill, honors his legacy through multi-year grants that support the creation, development and presentation of new works by early career artists. The foundation supports grants to early career generative artists, and the nonprofit arts organizations that serve them, in all disciplines in Minnesota and the five boroughs of New York City where Hill spent much of his creative career. A St. Paul native, Hill was a grandson of railroad builder James J. Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEleanor embodies the Jerome Foundation\u2018s purpose and values by always showing up in the community to seek ways arts leaders and early career artists support social change through meaningful commitment to equity and addressing racism and long-term inequities,\u201d said Kate Barr, Jerome Foundation board chair and president and CEO of Propel Nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p>Barr added that \u201cas we make this important transition, we are deeply grateful for Ben Cameron\u2019s contributions, especially his leadership in re-imagining and implementing grant programs and internal systems, most notably during the pandemic, in ways that respond to seismic changes in the arts\u2019 ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Board member Sanjit Sethi, president of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, led the Jerome Foundation\u2019s CEO search with support from the global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA position of this importance to our organization and its stakeholders warranted a comprehensive national search that attracted a number of impressive and highly qualified candidates,\u201d Sethi said. \u201cFrom among these, we are confident and delighted with our choice of Eleanor as the right leader to guide the Jerome Foundation to its next level. She clearly understands and will sustain Jerome Hill\u2019s legacy and life-long commitment to promoting human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeromefdn.org\/eleanor-savage-new-jerome-ceo\">Read the full announcement here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \/.mccoppin --><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted by Jaime Sharp on April 11, 2023 The Jerome Foundation has named Eleanor Savage, a highly-respected and experienced arts and philanthropy leader, as its new president and CEO charged with furthering the organization\u2019s commitment to innovative and flexible grantmaking programs for early career artists and arts ecosystems that focus on equity and the role [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-call-for-artists"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What We&#039;re Reading: Jerome Foundation taps respected, experienced arts leader Eleanor Savage as new president &amp;
