Ketchikan Museums welcome new director
KETCHIKAN — Even more change comes for the Ketchikan Museums along with their renovations – a new museum director. Lee Gray of Minnesota will take the reins. Her background is based in the visual arts as well as an educator and curator. She attained a doctorate in American Cultural Studies from Ohio University with a certificate in Women’s Studies. She has lived in a variety of places such as Aalborg, Denmark; Tlaxiaco, Mexico; most recently Lafayette, Louisiana, and once she stayed at a 11th century castle in Alnwick, England.
There will be community forums at the Ketchikan Public Library for discussions on the renovations (an anticipated opening for the new exhibits slated for May 2018) on Wednesday, Jan. 25 from 6:30-8 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 28 from 2-3:30 p.m.
