“The museum isn’t really undergoing any transformation at all,” said Jennifer-Navva Milliken, the executive director and chief curator. “It’s the name that is catching up with the way the museum operates. My hope is that the public will better be able to understand what to expect [and] how to come in and use us, and enjoy and explore.”
The organization’s relationship to the Windgate Foundation dates back to 1995, when the Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program was established to support and nurture woodworking artists in a year-long residency.In the last decade, the Windgate Foundation has granted the museum sizeable gifts, including $2 million in 2013 and $2 million in 2017. “But this endowment is “the largest by far,” said Milliken.
