Molly Giordano grew up with a love of the arts, as her mother ran a community art center in her West Virginia hometown, so it makes sense that in 2010 she joined the Delaware Art Museum, a century-old art institution in Wilmington. She led the “Art is Everywhere” campaign, bringing reproductions of masterworks from the collection to cities throughout Delaware, and helped complete the museum’s strategic plan, rebranding, and fundraising initiatives. Through COVID, Giordano led the museum as an interim executive director and the board rewarded her by naming her the new permanent director in 2021. Among her biggest accomplishments since taking over is landing “The Rossettis” exhibit of Pre-Raphaelite art in partnership with the esteemed Tate Britain that runs through January 2024.
