Buttacavoli takes helm at DVAC
The Dayton Visual Arts Center has named Eva Buttacavoli its new executive director.
Formerly the executive director of Film Dayton, Buttacavoli succeeds Jane Black, who left DVAC in August to become associate director of the Dayton Art Institute.
A reception to introduce her will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, at DVAC, 118 N. Jefferson St., Dayton.
Buttacavoli, who moved to Dayton in 2009, has BA and MS degrees in art history and art education from Florida International University. She has taught art, co-founded the education department of the Miami Art Museum and served as director of education for the Austin Museum of Art.
In Dayton, besides serving as the first executive director of FilmDayton, she directed teacher programs for the art education organization the Muse Machine and served as a freelance curator.
DVAC, which had a budget of $366,000 in the year ending June 30, 2011, presents contemporary exhibitions and programs that promote visual artists who live and work in the Dayton region.
More than 43 percent of its income came from the sale of art. Memberships accounted for more than 10 percent.
