The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore has garnered international attention as a unique, national museum and education center dedicated to "intuitive, self-taught" artistry. It is the brainchild of Rebecca Hoffberger, its founder and director for the past 27 years.

Last summer, Rebecca announced that she would be retiring as the museum’s director and primary curator. Earlier this month, the Museum announced that Jenenne Whitfield, the president and CEO of the Heidelberg Project in Detroit, will become the museum’s director in September.
