This fall, we will be sad to see Jim Smith retire after 27 years of wonderful leadership.
But we are excited to know that we are in good hands!
Susan Hartnett has been a staple in the arts and humanities in the Boston area, and now she’s coming to the Cambridge Center!
She’s worked at the Boston Center for the Arts, the City of Boston (as Director of the Mayor’s Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events) and as the Director of Economic Development for the Boston Redevelopment Authority.
She’s also done special consulting projects with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, ACT Roxbury, the Boston Society of Architects, and the New England Foundation for the Arts, and many more!
Susan earned a BA from Nazareth College and a Master’s of Public Administration from Harvard. She will be working with us part time through the summer to get organized, and will start full time by September, just in time for Fall Term.

Congratulations to Susan and CCAE! What a wonderful addition and leader to CCAE. Having come from Boston, I’m always following what’s going on there. I’m looking forward to seeing the growth continue and hopefully get to take a floral course on one of my upcoming visits!
