New York’s Madison Square Park Conservancy Names Holly Leicht as New Executive Director (Archinect)
The Madison Square Park Conservancy has announced former HUD and Empire State Development Corporation leader Holly Leicht as its next Executive Director.
Leicht comes to the position with over 25 years of experience in urban planning and open space initiatives. She steps into office on September 6th and is replacing current Executive Director Keats Myer, who has served in the role for a decade.
The Conservancy has enjoyed a well-received slate of programming of late, including Maya Lin’s haunting Ghost Forest installation, Hugh Hayden’s send-up of educational hierarchies called Brier Patch, and Cristina Iglesias’ evocative Landscape and Memory, which has been on view since early June.
