News from Jason Yoon (NUA’s executive director)

Dear friend,

I’m writing to let you know that after nearly five amazing years as
the Executive Director of New Urban Arts, I will be returning to New
York to join the senior staff of the Queens Museum of Art where I will take on the position of Director of Education.

In this role I will oversee all of the museum’s education programs
which include teen, after-school, school, family, teacher, access
programs and more. Like New Urban Arts, the Queens Museum of Art is
nationally recognized as a leader and innovator in using the arts to
bring together and engage diverse communities. I am very excited to
build on the work I’ve done at New Urban Arts at this cutting-edge
museum.

I will start my new position on December 17, 2012 and my last day at New Urban Arts will be December 7th, the day of our annual Artist Mentor Exhibition opening.
This is fitting as being an artist mentor remains the most important
position I have ever had and is what sparked my long relationship with
New Urban Arts…
