[niyad]

Elizabeth A. Sackler has been named chair of the board of the Brooklyn Museum, an institution founded in 1895 and, at 560,000 square feet, is New York's second largest in physical size holding an art collection with roughly 1.5 million works. The museum is home to the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for feminist art and has been the home of the iconic feminist installation The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago and other exhibits since 2007. Sackler, an arts matron, is a Women's eNews 21 Leader for the 21st Century (2003). Two other 21 Leaders attended the celebration of her new role on Sept. 9: Martha Burk, also class of 2003, and Andrea Arroyo, class of 2010. At the event, Arnold Lehman, the museum's director since 1997, announced his retirement in 2015, giving Sackler a significant role in guiding the populist museum's response to the continually changing demographics of its audiences.
