The Hubbard Hall board of directors has announced they are beginning a search for a new executive director, replacing David Andrew Sinder, who will be leaving for a new opportunity.
The Hubbard Hall Center for the Arts and Education is a thriving arts center dedicated to developing, promoting, and sustaining the cultural life of Cambridge, Washington County, the New York Capital Region, Southern Vermont, and the Berkshires. Since 1878 Hubbard Hall has developed, produced, and presented theater, music, opera, dance, and the visual arts and in recent years has become a world-class development center for new work. Since 1977, its current nonprofit has engaged thousands of artists, students, and audience members.
David has led Hubbard Hall for 10 years and has managed its development as a thriving regional arts and community center, as well as navigated the organization through the challenging time of COVID lockdowns and restrictions. In a statement, he said, “As the Executive & Artistic Director of Hubbard Hall, I’m so proud of all the work we’ve done together over the past decade, especially our support of students, artists, and community members throughout the global pandemic, as well as all of the programming and progress we’ve made together since 2014.”
He went on to say “I’m heartened by the fact that Hubbard Hall is physically and financially in much better shape than when I arrived. I’m thrilled that the past ten years have included so many triumphs with programming, including our seven-year streak with the CCS Drama Club, dozens of artist residencies, hundreds of presentations and productions of theater, opera, dance, and music, and thousands of hours of classes provided to our community.” He will be leaving Hubbard Hall on January 30, as he accepted a new offer at another arts institution.
The recruitment of a new director provides us with a great opportunity to fine-tune the vision of Hubbard Hall in this post-pandemic era. We will focus on strengthening not only the organization’s commitment to delivering high-quality performance and arts experiences, but also on reaffirming our role as an important cultural citizen and leader of the arts communities of Cambridge, Washington County, the New York Capital Region, Southern Vermont and the Berkshires.
Margaret Surowka, Chair of the Board.
The board went on to explain that during the initial transition phase, the day-to-day activities of Hubbard Hall will be handled by the board and current staff, with the job description and other details of the executive search being released shortly.
