The Newark Museum of Art  ( NOMA) is New Jersey’s largest fine arts museum was founded one the belief, radical among museums in 1909 that art is for everyone.   It is made up of a 90-gallery main building, planetarium, two historic houses, an education center and sculpture garden situated on a 4.5 acre campus in downtown Newark.  NOMA built its collections with art from Asia, Africa and the Americas - areas ignored by other museums at the time.

Now, Moree than 100 ears later, NMOA has the 12th largest collection in the nation including works by Romare Bearden, Bisa Butler, Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Faith Ringgold, John Singer Sargent, Mickalene Thomas, Andy Warhol, and Carrie Mae Weems, preserving and sharing 300,000+ objects of artistic, scientific, and cultural importance.  In 2019 the Museum’s Lore Ross Jewelry Gallery collection was cited by the New York Times alongside jewelry collections of the Victoria and Albert, the Louvre and the Kremlin museum as significant.

As Linda and her curatorial team plan new rotations in the 18th and 19th century galleries for 2022 and 2023 they will be collaboratively curated, bringing key modern and contemporary works into an historical context, encouraging visitors to explore critical issues of race and power throughout centuries of American art and cultural history, and beyond national borders.

Linda is committed to galleries that excite people and encourage the broadest and multiple audiences. She aspires to communicate a sense of identification and belonging for all by highlighting previously underrepresented artists and other stories. She wants people to come back because they see themselves – their heritage, cultural traditions, points of view – as part of American art at the Newark Museum of Art, not separate from but part of the expanding canon of American art.

Linda is now leveraging the museum’s 4.5 acre campus by developing Museum Parc, an $85M real estate development project. Slated to break ground in 2023, the project is 250 rental residences, a contemporary art gallery, café, museum store, and reimagined education center. Museum Parc will generate short and long-term revenue for the museum while contributing to the vibrant transformation of downtown Newark's newly formed Cultural District..

Linda plays a strategic and unifying role for the museum, its anchor institution allies, and the city of Newark.

Linda currently serves on the following Board of Trustees: American Alliance of Museums, Alliance of American Museum Directors, Regional Planning Association, Art Pride- NJ, Newark Alliance Collaborative, Rutgers University Newark Advisory Council and City of Newark Re-Opening and Recovery Strike Force.
