Every year the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center's annual Nexus Award recognizes local people doing big things for the Atlanta arts scene. Here's a nice thing: Nominations are open to the public, so you can submit people you think deserve to be recognized. Past winners of the relatively new award (it was established in 2010) have included Dr. Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Director of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Dr. Jerry Cullum, Editor at Large of Art Papers magazine, and Louis Corrigan, founder of both Flux Projects, and Possible Futures.

Noms are due THIS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10. Here's the award criteria via the ACAC's press release:


The honoree(s) will embody many of the following criteria:
Raises awareness and sets standards of excellence for Atlanta artists, galleries, institutions or
collections;
