INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Indianapolis Museum of Art has selected its next CEO.

The board of governors for the museum selected Charles L. Venable, IMA announced Wednesday.

Venable is director and CEO of the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Ky. He will take over at IMA on Oct. 8.

The new CEO replaces Maxwell Anderson, who was named the director of the Dallas Museum of Art in January.

"Charles has a proven track record as a director, curator and fundraiser at leading museums across the country," said June McCormack, chair of the IMA Board of Governors, in a news release. "During his five years as director of the Speed, Charles developed and instituted a clear vision for the future of his museum. He also initiated innovative partnerships that broadened the Speed's reach throughout the Louisville community, which speaks to his understanding of how a museum can serve as an anchor and cultural hub for its city, as the IMA does for Indianapolis."
