Consumers get a voice on Philadelphia Art Commission

Natalie Nixon wanted to make sure consumers are part of the conversation for the
Philadelphia Art Commission, so she became part of it.

Nixon, the director of Philadelphia University’s Strategic Design MBA, has already made an impact by asking consumer-focused questions to presenters at the commission.

“The art commission is the perfect confluence of aesthetics and policy and value,” Nixon said. “Value isn’t only financial value, but social and cultural value.”

Nixon is seen as offering a unique perspective, since she is both a Philadelphia native and a design professional.
