The Indianapolis Museum of Art has chosen a new director, the museum's board announced Wednesday.
Charles L. Venable, who has served for the last five years as the director and chief executive of the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Ky., will succeed Maxwell L. Anderson, who left Indianapolis earlier this year to take over the Dallas Museum of Art.
Mr. Venable, who will begin in the new job Oct. 8, has previously served in curatorial and administrative roles at the Cleveland Museum of Art and at the Dallas Museum of Art, whose decorative art and design collection he helped to expand into one of the most important in the country. Under his direction, the Speed raised tens of millions of dollars toward an expansion, expected to be completed in 2015, that will reshape its grounds and add new galleries for modern and contemporary art.
