The People Behind the Mission

What happens after someone walks through our doors, falls in love with a piece of art, or raises a paddle at The Russell?

A lot more than you might think!

Join Cassie Strauss, Chief Development Officer, and Sally Carlton, Membership Manager, for a fun and behind-the-scenes conversation about cultivation, connection and the relationships that help make the Museum possible.

They’ll talk about everything from gifts of art and the stories behind them, to how we meet and build relationships with attendees at The Russell, why membership matters, and all the little things that turn a visitor into a member, a supporter, or a lifelong friend of the Museum.

Come hear about the people side of what we do and discover why the relationships we build are just as important as the art we share.

Coffee & Conversations is free with Museum admission and free for members.
