Career Moves: New Pastures 

Arts organizations from around the world have announced major leadership changes of late. In August, Alexie Glass-Kantor stepped down as executive director of the Sydney-based nonprofit Artspace after ten years. She joined Artspace in November 2013, and has since supported the organization in commissioning and exhibiting contemporary art both nationally and internationally. Glass-Kantor’s curatorial leadership includes overseeing Art Basel Hong Kong’s Encounters sector, renovating Artspace’s facilities and securing a 35-year lease, and initiating a rent-free residency program for artists.
