Edward Hopper House Announces New Leadership
Jennifer Patton, Executive Director of Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center, decided to step down as of June 12th, 2020. During her tenure Patton has been key in transforming the House into a Museum while implementing important educational initiatives including EHH’s successful Nighthawks program, in which teens learn the ins and outs of the museum world. Additionally, Jennifer has been responsible for the high caliber of artists’ exhibits that have elevated the Museum’s status within the community both locally and at large.
Edward Hopper House is fortunate that Janine Napierkowski, formerly Assistant Director at the Museum, has agreed to become Interim Executive Director. Having worked with the Museum since 2018, Janine is well-equipped for the challenges that lie ahead. Napierkowski says, “It’s an honor to take this position at this juncture in history. I believe art is a way to keep connecting us all on a human level.”
“We are thrilled to have Janine take on this role. Her quiet confidence and stream-lined organization will be particularly helpful as we move onward and upward,” says Mary Mathwich, President of the Board of Trustees at Edward Hopper House.
