Executive Vice President

Amy Zinck is the Executive Vice President of the Terra Foundation for American Art. Rethinking and catalyzing the role of philanthropy in creating more equitable futures, she oversees the foundation’s global grant program and strategic planning in coordination and conversation with internal and external colleagues and partners.

Her longstanding role at the Terra is preceded by work in the museum, university, and political fields. A graduate of the University of Virginia, Amy also holds an MBA and an MFA from the Cox School of Business and Meadows School for the Arts, respectively, at Southern Methodist University.

Art’s power to distinguish cultures and unite them informs her professional pursuits and as well as her personal interests. She embraces her family’s two cultures, French and American, while her Texas roots have her seeking out BBQ and big skies whenever possible.
