Interview: Bonnie Pitman, outgoing director at Dallas Museum of Art

In April 2011, the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) announced that Bonnie Pitman would be stepping down from her post as the Museum’s Eugene McDermott Director this month due to health reasons. Ms. Pitman was gracious enough to grant Dallas Art News an interview to discuss the highlights of her tenure at the DMA.

After speaking to Ms. Pitman for only a minute, we could tell that her ailment had weakened her voice. By the end of the interview, we realized her spirit and love of art was fully intact. We only requested 15-20 minutes for this interview, but we feel that Ms. Pitman would have gone on for hours talking about the Dallas Museum of Art, the talented curatorial staff, their wonderful collection, the generous donors, and you, the reason for every thing she had done for the last 11 years.

We asked Ms. Pitman about her favorite exhibits, works of art, acquisition and directorial perks, but we failed to ask about her accomplishments. Following up with Ms. Pitman through the DMA, she felt remiss for not mentioning the Center for Creative Connections , which opened in 2008. Ms. Pitman said the Center has quickly become one of the most popular destinations in the Museum, visited by about 2400 people a week. The interactive and innovative learning environment has provided a new model for art education and interpretation. Ms. Pitman, whose career started out in museum education, is especially proud of the Center.

This month Ms. Pitman was named as recipient of the 2011 American Association of Museums (AAM) Award for Distinguished Service to Museums. Ms. Pitman will receive her award at the AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo in Houston next week.

Pitman: No, I don’t. That is something I think about for the future. Being an administrator and curator overcame my creative abilities at some point. It takes an enormous amount of time, passion and focus to be a good artist. I vividly remember realizing the moment when my hand was not as alive as it used to be. And so I put aside painting and drawing and decided to come back to it at another time, out of respect.
