The nonprofit Scottsdale Arts has named Dr. Christina Brungardt as director of Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
“In every conversation with Dr. Brungardt, it was apparent that, besides her strong qualification as a museum director and fundraiser, she fundamentally embraces the identity of SMoCA within Scottsdale Arts, recognizing the opportunities this creates — from reaching a broader audience base to education and outreach to collaborations among visual, performing and public arts,” Dr. Gerd Wuestemann, president and CEO of Scottsdale Arts, said in a press release. “With an eye toward a future museum expansion, we are excited to have found the right leader for SMoCA’s future.”
Brungardt is currently the director of institutional giving at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas, one of the largest nonprofit regional theaters in the country. She oversees all foundation, corporate and government support, as well as the Individual Giving team.
