Los Angeles, CA—The Annenberg Space for Photography named arts veteran Katie Hollander as its new director. Hollander has served as the interim director since November 2017.

“It was imperative for me to find someone who not only understands the founding vision for how the Annenberg Space for Photography has contributed to the cultural landscape of Los Angeles, but who also could propel us into our next decade with strong leadership and new, thought-provoking ideas,” said Wallis Annenberg, chairman, president and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation. “Katie has already proven that she can inspire others. I know she will continue to build on the momentum we’ve achieved in our first 10 years with great success.”
