Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is a passionate group of community and business leaders, innovators, and art lovers who believe in the power of creativity to inspire change. The Board consists of nine to fifteen directors, including one designated seat for a member of Burlington City Council, as the City of Burlington proudly serves as the Gallery’s primary funder. Together, the Board provides thoughtful oversight, shapes strategic priorities, and ensures that our mission is brought to life every day, helping shape the AGB as the cultural heartbeat of our city.
