The Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. (ACPA) and
President Nancy Harbour were honored with the Heart of Anchorage award March
29, 2014. The Anchorage Downtown Partnership’s annual awards ceremony was held
at the ConocoPhillips atrium with a number of awards given to individuals and
businesses well deserving of the recognitions.
The final award given for the evening was the Heart of
Anchorage Award. ADP Executive Director Chris Schutte gave hints to the
recipient(s), “this person has also overseen large construction projects, is
celebrating 25 years of service and 25 since the building opened.” By that
point, almost everyone in the room knew that the Center and Nancy Harbour were
being recognized with the 2014 Heart of Anchorage award.
Nancy Harbour has worked at the Center even before the
Center actually opened its doors to the public. She has served as director of
marketing and development, vice president and has been the president for the
past 15 years. Nancy is a strong and dedicated leader of the Center and a
tireless advocate for the arts in Anchorage and throughout Alaska. Nancy
currently serves as a trustee of the Atwood Foundation and a council member of
the Alaska State Council on the Arts.
The Alaska Center for the Performing Arts is celebrating 25
years since the facility opened to the public. Countless actors, singers,
musicians and performers of all kinds have graced the three stages of its
theatres. And, through all of those 25 years, staff and volunteers
of the Center have worked diligently to welcome countless audience members,
give patrons a dazzling and magical experiences, support fellow colleagues,
make sure the facility is a safe and inviting environment for everyone to
enjoy, efficiently manage resources for sustainability and growth, and provide
opportunities for young people to experience the magic of the arts, ultimately
ensuring that “the show does go on!”
Everyone at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts is
sincerely honored to be named Heart of Anchorage.
