Nexus Award 2012

We are pleased to announce that Lisa Cremin is the recipient of the third annual Nexus Award. Lisa was the overwhelming choice to receive this year’s Nexus Award. Her name was put forth by members of the community during our public call for nominations, and her contributions to the arts and culture ecology of our city are without question.

In her role as Director of the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, Lisa is a respected leader whose personal and institutional efforts have helped to stabilize, nurture, and empower countless arts organizations. She is a tireless advocate who cultivates connections inside and outside of Atlanta, and she raises the bar for individuals and agencies trying to bring new ideas and experiences to a diverse public.

Please join us in celebration of Lisa Cremin and her accomplishments in support of Atlanta’s arts community.

    About the Nexus Award:

    Recognizing that a need existed to celebrate leaders in the visual arts in Atlanta, ACAC created the Nexus Award in 2010 to publicly acknowledge an individual or individuals who have made a profound contribution to contemporary visual art in Atlanta and beyond. The Nexus Award is intended to both recognize the work of outstanding individuals as well as to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
