Malloy Lecture in the Arts

Bedford Middle School

Vartan Gregorian is the twelfth president of Carnegie Corporation of New York, a grant-making institution founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1911.

Prior to his current position, which he assumed in June 1997, Gregorian served for nine years as the sixteenth president of Brown University. For eight years (1981-1989), he served as a president of the New York Public Library, an institution with a network of four research libraries and eighty-three circulating libraries.

In 2002, the Westport Public Library initiated The Malloy Lecture in the Arts, made possible by a generous gift from local resident Susan Malloy. The lecture, free and open to the public, presents an individual who has had a significant cultural influence and whose work has enhanced the understanding and appreciation of the arts.
