Frank Gleber

Frank Gleber brings a wide range of experience to his position as the Joan Mitchell Center’s Hospitality Associate. Over his career, he worked first as a travelling inn-sitter and then as an innkeeper in bed and breakfasts both in Florida and Louisiana. As a boy, Frank often worked in the kitchen with his French mother preparing the family meals so it is little wonder that he has been either head cook, owner/operator, manager, or some combination of those roles for several Louisiana restaurants and is known among the staff and residency artists at the Center for his delicious home-style cooking. If that were not enough, Frank has likewise been a floral arranger, the owner/operator of a daylily nursery, a wedding cake catering service, and a dairy farmer for 28 years, first in his family’s business and then on his own.
