Our Board of Directors

Linda Janklow, Secretary

Linda Janklow is founder and creator of Peopleologie, a traveling hands-on culture and humanities program. For over two decades, Ms. Janklow acted as co-founder, creator, and director of the Education Program of San Francisco’s Museum of Craft and Folk Art, facilitating culture and craft connected learning experiences in and outside the Museum. Under her leadership, the Program received the prestigious Exemplary Arts Education Award and a National Endowment for the Arts grant. Ms. Janklow enjoys creating experiential activities and developing partnerships and collaborations with community programs, schools, cultural organizations, and museums.

I joined AIM’s board of directors because of my dedication to making art as accessible as possible, and my commitment to approaching art and life as inseparable partners in our everyday world.
