The museum announced that Nora Burnett Abrams will step into the role in May 2025. Abrams, who has been the director of Denver’s Museum of Contemporary Art since 2019, will succeed Jill Medvedow, who will leave her position in March 2025.
The Institute of Contemporary Art has named Nora Burnett Abrams as its new director. She steps into the role in May 2025.
Medvedow leaves big shoes to fill, but Abrams seems well poised to step into them. ICA board co-chair Bridgitt Evans led the yearlong search for the museum’s new director.“In Denver, Nora has elevated expectations for how a museum can embed its work in its community and engage audiences. She has an ambitious vision for programmatic excellence combined with cultural and civic relevance, and we look forward to bringing that vision to Boston,” Evans said in a statement.
In her five years as director, Abrams increased the endowment, helmed fundraising campaigns, oversaw the opening of the museum’s second space and led the creation of a new plan to further inclusivity at MCA Denver. The museum developed a myriad of adult art programs and its youth programming grew under her leadership.when it still occupied a space on Boylston Street, at a time when the institution had big ambitions with few resources.
