The Halle Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University in Salem has a new director. The museum has been a fixture of the Willamette University campus since 1998.

Jonathan Bucci served as the collections manager and curator of the Halle Ford Museum of Art for the last 20 years, until he stepped into his role as director in September.

We’ll hear from Bucci about his hopes for the museum, and why he believes this is a moment of transition — not only for his museum, but for museums and collections across Oregon.
