The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Toronto Canada ended a tumultuous chapter in its young history Thursday, naming Toronto-born Heidi Reitmaier as its new executive director and CEO. Reitmaier, currently the director of learning and public programs at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, will join MOCA in January of 2018. Interim CEO Terry Nicholson has been holding the position since July of last year. “Our priority was in finding the right person, and we absolutely believe Heidi is that person,” said Julia Ouellette, MOCA’s board chair. The museum bumped back its opening first to fall 2017, and then, in late summer, revised it again, to May of 2018.
