(Host) The director of the Shelburne Museum is leaving his post to take a new job in Hawaii.
Stephan Jost is credited with revitalizing educational programs and raising the museum’s profile overall.
Board Chairman James Pizzagalli says Jost’s dynamic leadership put the museum on a strong and steady course – even in difficult economic times.
Jost, who is 41, joined the museum 5 years ago. In that time, he produced what’s been described as world-class art exhibits – including shows featuring the work of Mary Cassatt and Ansel Adams.
Jost leaves in mid-March to become the director of Honolulu Academy of Arts in Honolulu, Hawaii.
