Erica Halmstad Executive director, Cedarburg Art Museum W63 N675 Washington Ave., Cedarburg cedarburgartmuseum.org Industry: Arts and entertainment

Erica Halmstad was named executive director of the Cedarburg Art Museum in June. She has experience in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, including more than five years as the membership manager at West Allis-based National Fluid Power Association.
Halmstad enjoys nonprofit work because of the type of people attracted to it. “Whether you’re working with volunteers, board members, or committee members, anyone who donates their time for free or (who) has a particular passion about a nonprofit’s mission is special in my opinion.”
She likes to stay creative by practicing her crochet skills, teaching herself piano and dabbling in digital art on her iPad. “I also get inspiration from others through podcasts or learning from others through professional associations.”
She finds Cedarburg special because of the passion residents have for their hometown. “They are committed to Cedarburg and to making it a better place for their neighbors and children to live in. That’s why my husband and I decided to put down roots and raise our family here, and that’s why I decided to work here.”
Outside of running the museum, Halmstad enjoys spending time with her two “young, adorable and exhausting” children as well as her husband, Matt. She is also a cribbage player and part of a monthly book club.
Her biggest goal in her new role is to “help guide the museum through its strategic planning process to refocus the priorities of the next stage in this great organization with a very enthusiastic and passionate board of directors.”
She takes her coffee hot, black and with no fuss.
