AMOA-Arthouse has announced that Louis Grachos, director of the renowned Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY, has been named as the museum's new executive director.  At AMOA-Arthouse, Grachos will play a major role in reinvigorating art presentation, commissioning new art, and programming the museum's two sites. He will bring nationally prominent exhibitions and artists to our town.

Mr. Grachos will be a great asset to the Austin arts community and we look forward to welcoming him to the community.

AMOA-Arthouse provides rich environments for a wide range of audiences to investigate and experience excellence in modern and contemporary art.  Laguna Gloria, the museum's ancestral home, which includes the restored, 1916 Italianate-style Driscoll villa, has been declared a national treasure and is listed on national registries of historic places. The downtown space, the Jones Center, is a renowned example of adaptive reuse. It was once an early-1900s movie palace, and later a department store, before becoming the museum's downtown site.
