The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum has recently announced two new department heads!
Tracy Moore ~ Education Director
Tracy Moore has twenty years of experience managing contemporary art-centered programs and projects in museums, local arts agencies, and galleries. Moore’s experience with projects by a diverse range of artists, from Jenny Holzer to Richard Serra, informs her commitment to advancing arts education through contemporary art. Moore joined The New Children’s Museum (NCM), in San Diego in 2007 as the original Director of Programs and Exhibitions. Her early influence at NCM proved formative for the organization’s unique method of consistently delivering high caliber, artist-driven contemporary art and educational experiences for children and families. Moore previously managed the curatorial department at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), overseeing every aspect of the department’s operations and $1.2 million budget for four years. Prior to joining MCASD, Moore served as the Public Art Project Manager for the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture where she managed the collaboration of artists and design, professionals, and city leaders to realize new works of art in public spaces. Moore holds a B.A., Art History, from Trinity College (Connecticut).
Lucy Roche ~ Development Director
Before joining The Aldrich, Lucy was a Major and Planned Gifts Officer at the International Rescue Committee, an organization that provides lifesaving aid to refugees. Lucy’s portfolio of nearly 350 donors generated $2.5 to $3.8 million in funding each year for the IRC’s programs. Lucy also served as Development Officer at the Women’s Refugee Commission, an advocacy organization housed at the IRC. Before joining the humanitarian world, Lucy was Associate Director of Development at the New York Landmarks Conservancy where she oversaw membership; special events; and foundation, corporate, and government grants. Lucy began her fundraising career as Development Assistant at the Frick Collection in 1997. She has volunteered for numerous organizations, including the Museum of Modern Art; L-STEP, a homeless outreach initiative; and PENCIL, which pairs business leaders with New York City schools. Lucy holds a B.A., Art History, from Boston University and a M.S., Fundraising Management, from Columbia University.
