Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving.
I am writing to share with you that I have accepted a newly created position at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in New York as Senior Program Officer for Arts and Cultural Heritage. I will be leaving Jacob's Pillow at the end of the Festival.
The Pillow carries on with a passionate, dedicated Board and staff. They are simply the best, and I am proud of everything that we have accomplished together.
For those of you who know me and the Pillow, you will understand how impossible it is to express my gratitude to you. There is only one Jacob's Pillow, and each and every one of you has been part of our many successes, our story, our soul. It has been an experience beyond imagining to lead, to serve, and to work with the greatest artists in the world.
I look forward to seeing you in New York, the Berkshires, and wherever we meet again. Until then, I send wholehearted thanks to you for supporting the Pillow and the arts, and for making my time at Jacob's Pillow the most remarkable experience.
Ella Baff
Executive and Artistic Director
