約瑟夫•湯普森1981年畢業于威廉姆斯學院，後獲賓州大學藝術史碩士和沃頓商學院工商管理碩士。他領導下的團隊將一個佔地13英畝的歷史磨坊建築改造成了一個集合視覺、表演和媒介藝術于一體的藝術中心，並成功獲得了7500萬美元的公共和私人基金的資助。包括中國藝術家蔡國強和黃永砅在內的超過200名藝術家曾在該館展出作品，超過500項藝術表演活動曾在此舉行，其中誕生了80件現場製作的視覺藝術作品和60齣新創作的戲劇、舞蹈和音樂作品。在約瑟夫的領導下，MASS MoCA成為了該州西部地區經濟復蘇的催化劑，為麻省新增了600個工作崗位和每年2100萬美元的收入。他參與創建了“創意社區發展中心”，這個中心由福特基金會和威廉姆斯學院共同資助創立，側重研究藝術和教育的社會影響。
約瑟夫曾獲得威廉姆斯學院200週年傑出校友獎章，麻省文學院榮譽博士，州長領袖獎，以及麻省文化部最高榮譽：聯邦獎章。他是麻省理工大學長期校園規劃校長顧問團的顧問。MASS MoCA在他的領導下曾獲得美國建築師學會的榮譽建築獎；全國文物保護信託基金會的國家文化保護獎和美國旅遊作家協會的歷史保護“鳳凰獎”。
