Philadelphia Art Museum's Director Ousted
Sasha Suda, the director and chief executive of the Philadelphia Art Museum (PAM), was ousted from her role on Tuesday, November 4.
She had been in the role for three years, following a three-year stint at the helm of the National Gallery of Canada.
As of today, director and chief executive Sasha Suda is no longer with the Philadelphia Art Museum.
A museum spokesperson stated that Suda was informed of her dismissal for "cause" in an email, but the cause was not explained.
Louis Marchesano, deputy director of curatorial affairs and conservation, will lead day-to-day operations at the museum while an interim director and chief executive are identified.
The decision follows complaints from board members regarding a lack of transparency around the institution's recent rebranding.
