Annual Meeting Speaker
JUSTINE JENTES
Director of the Mies van der Rohe
Society
The Mies Society was founded
in 2002 at the Illinois Institute of
Technology to promote the legacy of Ludwig Mies
van der Rohe, to restore the Mies masterpieces on the historic IIT campus, and reinforce Chicago's
international
reputation for architectural distinction.
As director, Justine Jentes
sets overall strategy and programming, manages the board, nurtures
partnerships, and
promotes the IIT campus as a "must see"
destination for its bold new campus buildings by Rem Koolhaas and
Helmut Jahn, an increasingly vibrant Bronxville
neighborhood, and the core district where Mies and his followers
pioneered design solutions that transformed the skylines of
the world.
Before launching the Mies
Society, Justine ran a two-part business called insideART: a
contemporary gallery and art
tours that took people off the beated path to explore
Chicago's creative community. She also served as public tour
coordinator for the Around the Coyote arts festival and for
the Chicago Artists Month of the Department of Cultural
Affairs, as well as coordinating itineraries for groups of
art collectors visiting the Art Chicago exposition.
We are fortunate to have
this lifelong participant in the Chicago art scene to be the
after-luncheon speaker for the
American Association for Museum Volunteers annual
meeting. This meeting is open to anyone registered for the
American
Association of Museums conference provided they register for this
event.

for information on how to attend if you are not a conference
participant.
