In October 2010, I was informed that the Trenton City Museum would be closing, the decision was canceled and we breathed a sigh of relief. However, I have just been informed Brian O. Hill is no longer to be the director of Trenton City Art Museum and I am once again shocked and dismayed.

This will be a great loss, not only to The community but also to all the artists he has supported and fostered since he took on this role.
I know he has worked tirelessly over many, many years to restore, curate and promote this museum on the cities behalf and has succeeded in bringing both Trenton’s colorful cultural identity to the attention of America, as well as fostering and supporting artists from both New Jersey, New York and beyond.
Mr. Hill has given Trenton City Art museum a sense of pride and active role in the community. You need someone with a sound curatorial background to make the right decisions in this role, right now Mr. Hill successfully fulfills this important role.
Mr. Mayor, and council members you have the choice to continue to enhance your community with Mr. Hill’s help or loose one of your most valuable assets.
Please reconsider your decision and keep Mr. Hill in his position not only for the sake of your community, the staff (what’s left of it), but for all the future generations of visitors and artists that he will enlighten and foster.
