Welcome to our new Executive Director!
The Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum is pleased to announce the hiring of Carla L. Funk as the new Executive Director. Carla has extensive experience in all aspects of museum administration, as well as curatorial and educational curriculum expertise.
She was the Founding Director and Chief Curator for the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts as part of the Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL. The Center later became part of the University Museums, where Carla was Executive Director and Chief Curator for nine years. Carla has also held several teaching and curatorial positions, including Asheville Art Museum, Eastern Florida State University, Emory University in Atlanta, The Cloisters of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, and Georgia State University. Carla has so far curated or co-curated over 60 exhibits and is in numerous publications. She was recognized by the Southeastern Museum Conference with an award for “Excellence in Exhibitions”. Relocating to La Conner from North Carolina, she began her new position on July 15, 2024. We are excited to have Carla stepping into the leadership role of the museum. Please make her feel welcome when you next visit the exhibits. |
