Welu Retiring As WAM Director
By Matthew L. Brown
James A. Welu is stepping down as director of the Worcester Art Museum.
Welu has been director for 24 years. He will remain as director while a replacement is sought by the museum's board of trustees and will serve as director emeritus after a new director is hired.
The museum expects the search for Welu's successor to take between six and 12 months.
Long-term plans for the museum include drawing greater attention to its collections, integrating technology for new visitor experiences and reaching out to a more diverse audience.
The museum has a collection of 35,000 paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, photography, prints, drawings and new media.
