After more than 40 years as a member of the Syracuse University community, artist and longtime arts leader Jeff Hoone has announced his retirement.
An award-winning artist, Hoone most recently served as executive director of the University’s Coalition of Museum and Art Centers (CMAC). Since 1982, he also served as executive director of Light Work, an internationally renown artist-run nonprofit organization whose mission is to support emerging and under-recognized artists working in photography and digital media. Under Hoone’s leadership, Light Work grew significantly and excelled at supporting and empowering artists.
A working artist for much of his life, Hoone has exhibited his work extensively, has served on peer review panels for the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, and was awarded a photography fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.
