Tiffany Jehorek
Tiffany Nolan Jehorek has more than 25 years of experience in the museum
field through her roles as volunteer, board president, marketing director and now she is in her eighth year serving as Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions for the Longview Museum of Fine Arts (LMFA). Tiffany secures and oversees the museum's collections and temporary exhibitions, fundraising efforts for operating and capital campaigns, and programming and marketing efforts. She also provides strategic vision as LMFA is in the process of renovating and opening its new location, a 54,000-square-foot historic bank building in the heart of downtown Longview.

the past 27 years. Passionate about art since her youth, she completed a summer program at Parsons School of Design in New York City after high school. She then received her Bachelor of Science in Radio/Television/Film with minors in Art and Business at Texas Christian University.
In her free time, Tiffany loves to travel, read, garden, exercise, and spend
time with friends and family. Tiffany has two daughters, Daisy, 25, and Hope, 23. Daisy and her husband Jack welcomed their first child on January 26, 2024, and Tiffany is smitten with her new role as “Go Go” to grandson Luke Shepherd Warner!
Grateful for Longview and the world of art, Tiffany is excited about enriching lives and igniting a passion for the arts in as well as increasing LMFA’s notability as a premier art museum in Texas.
