SAN ANTONIO, TX.- The San Antonio Museum of Art announced today that Dr. Katherine Luber has been appointed Kelso Director of the Museum effective July 2011. The announcement is the culmination of a national search to replace former director Dr. Marion Oettinger, Jr., who stepped down to devote himself to serving as full-time curator of the Museums Latin American art collection. After a comprehensive national search, we have found the ideal person for the job in Dr. Luber, said Board of Trustees Chairman Karen Hixon. The Museum is fortunate to have found a person with such a rare combination of skills: a curator with an impressive background in the arts and a commitment to best practices in museum management along with the business acumen obtained from having established herself as a successful entrepreneur. Lubers commitment to the arts began during her undergraduate education
