Marianne Della Croce appointed executive director of the Art League of Long Island

Successfully emerging from a period of unprecedented challenge, the Art League of Long Island has announced a leadership transition that will cement recent gains and continue moving the organization forward.

Executive Director Charlee Miller, who for 10 years led the Art League has accepted the new, part-time position of director of development and donor relations.

After a long careful search, the board has appointed Marianne Della Croce to be the new executive director.

With a master of arts in Anthropology from Arizona State University, over 20 years experience in nonprofit management, leadership and programming here on Long Island, and having served as executive director at the Smithtown Historical Society and Oysterponds Historical Society, and as the director of visitor experience at the East Hampton Historical Society, she is highly qualified to lead the organization and to create new programs and relationships.

“We owe Charlee Miller an enormous debt of gratitude for giving the Art League a stronger financial foundation and for creating new partnerships and initiatives. Without her leadership, and her ability to mobilize critical community support, we never would have survived the pandemic,” said board president Janette Simms. “As it is, we are coming back stronger than ever. And with her knowledge and experience, Marianne Della Croce is well positioned to continue the task of reopening classes and programs, and to explore new ways of serving our community. All of us who value the Art League…whether as students, attendees, teachers, staff and donors…can be confident that the Art League will continue to thrive and bring the joy of fine arts to Long Island.”
