Welcoming Alecia Harris as Rothko Chapel’s Chief Development Officer

Please join us in welcoming Alecia Harris, the Rothko Chapel’s new Chief Development Officer.

“Alecia brings a rare combination of relationship-centered leadership and strategic fundraising acumen,” says Rothko Chapel President Abdullah Antepli. “She understands how to build trust with donors and boards, translate mission into momentum, and lead a modern advancement enterprise as we complete Opening Spaces, grow annual support, and advance our work to double the Chapel’s endowment.”

“The Rothko Chapel’s mission to steward a reflective space and present programs that promote spirituality, creativity, dialogue, and action feels deeply aligned with how I want to serve Houston and the world,” says Harris. “I am honored to join this extraordinary institution and partner with our community to expand philanthropic support for the Chapel’s programs at the nexus of art, spirituality, and social justice.”

Alecia joins the Chapel from J.P. Morgan Private Bank and previously held leadership roles at the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, with earlier work across Houston’s arts community including Blaffer Art Museum, Glasstire, and Artpace.

We’re thrilled to welcome Alecia to the Rothko Chapel community.
