Joseph Thompson

Joseph Thompson has unwaveringly led MASS MoCA since its inception in 1987, making it a creative powerhouse that embraces music, sculpture, dance, film, painting, photography, theater, and boundary-crossing works. Thompson, an avid pilot, came to the Berkshires from Oklahoma via Williams College, assuming (having never visited) that because it was Massachusetts, it was near the water. Thankfully, he was misinformed.
