With 2022 now done and dusted, the team behind the Abbey Museum and Abbey Medieval Festival would like to thank everyone for their support throughout the year. Looking ahead they have exciting plans for 2023, welcoming a new director and plans to start building work on their art gallery and café.
In other big news, there will be a new face stepping into the role of director in 2023. After dedicating 30 years of service to the role, Edith Cuffe has stepped down. She will continue to support the organisation as a board member, a volunteer at the museum and as Lady Edith Abbeystowe at the Abbey Medieval Festival.
"I wish to sincerely thank you for all your support during my time as the museum and festival director,” Edith said. “It has been such a privilege to work for this amazing organisation and I look forward to watching it flourish into the future. Thank you once again.”
Stepping into the role as director is Chloe Tanner, whose expertise and business acumen will see forward the growth and development of the museum and new art gallery.
“It is a privilege to be appointed as the next director of the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology, an artistic and cultural place of significance in Australia,” she said. “Thank you to Edith for her leadership and years of service and to everyone for welcoming me so warmly. I look forward to connecting with many of you in 2023. I wish you a restful holiday season with your chosen community, family or friends.”
