The Maine Crafts Association and Shop Maine Craft board of directors has appointed Whitney Gill as its new executive director.
The eighth director in the organizations’ 40-year history, she first joined the association as an artist and retail gallery staff member in 2013, according to a news release from the association.
Working across MCA & SMC programming and the greater artist community of Maine for a decade, Gill guides their mission and vision with a deep understanding of the organizations’ history, initiatives and core values.
In this critical year, she will continue building capacity with the MCA’s motivated board of directors, generous members and dedicated staff to complete Maine Crafts Association and Shop Maine Craft’s next strategic plans.
