“The Haystack Board of Trustees is thrilled to welcome Perry Price as our new Executive Director,” Ayumi Horie, President of the Haystack Board of Trustees and Chair of the Search Committee, says. “Perry’s deep and expansive knowledge of craft will bring fresh vision to the school’s already experimental programming and his experienced leadership will support and bolster our dedicated staff. The eight-person Search Committee was impressed with his all-around strength in multiple competencies and was unanimous in their support for Perry’s selection. His career demonstrates a commitment to the values that guide Haystack’s Strategic Plan. He is well-regarded among peers, and he brings inspiring enthusiasm about both Haystack and the future of craft. We are really excited about Perry’s arrival.”

Price holds a bachelor of arts degree in the History of Art from the Johns Hopkins University and a master degree in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program in Museum Studies, State University of New York Oneonta and the New York State Historical Association.
