The Frye Art Museum Cuts (Entirely??) Its Education Programs

I couldn’t get any details tonight, but I do know that Yoko Ott, the terrific curator of education at the Frye, has been let go and her programs have been axed. These were some great programs; I followed along on a class one Saturday in July. I’ll describe later.

The “changes” were announced to the staff today, said Frye spokeswoman Rebecca Garrity-Putnam, who added:

I think that this was a very difficult decision, and a decision that was made for purely financial issues. It was very, very hard. I know that everybody at the museum is impacted, very much, and I know the community will be as well.

More on what this means for the Frye and the city’s art ed offerings tomorrow.
