from Ohio State University, and is a graduate of Stanford's Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders and the Getty's Leadership Institute for Museum Management.
Maciejunes was Director of Denison University's Gallery in 1980, began at the Columbus Museum as a curatorial research assistant in 1984, served as Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis in 1989 and has occupied her current position since 2003.
Maciejunes has made the work of both local and underrepresented artists a museum focus, which led to the development of a special relationship with Columbus native African American artist Aminah Robinson, who left the museum her estate.
In Robinson's memory, the museum is creating a new fellowship program for African American visual artists.
