The Utah Museum of Fine Arts has announced that executive director Gretchen Dietrich will join the board of directors for Art Bridges, the foundation created by philanthropist Alice Walton to expand access to American art across the country.

“This is well-deserved recognition of Gretchen’s expertise and stature among museum leaders across the country,” said Ruth V. Watkins, president of the University of Utah. “Under Gretchen’s management, our Utah Museum of Fine Arts continues to reach new heights. This prestigious appointment elevates Gretchen’s impressive work to the national stage.”

Dietrich joins the executive directors of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and the president of the Ford Foundation, among others on the board of Art Bridges.

Art Bridges is responsible for the loan of the piece by Diego Rivera now on exhibit at the UMFA, as well as partnering with the Smithsonian American Art Museum to bring works by Georgia O’Keeffe, Thomas Moran, and Alma Thomas to the museum. All four loans are on view at the UMFA through October 4, 2020.
