Storrs Bishop, Executive Director

Storrs graduated from Syracuse University in 1992 with a double-major in English and art. His art studies concentrated on photography and printmaking, disciplines that remain at the heart of his artistic vision, which integrates the traditional processes of printmaking with digital printing and photography.

As an active member of the art community, Storrs led the Danforth’s transition from a gallery to a museum. In August of 2022, he stepped off the DMA board to lead the organization as its executive director. Storrs is currently studying for an MA in art history from MSU. In November 2023, he will defend his thesis, the subject of which is the development of Livingston as an art community.
