In recognition of his decades of uniting communities through art, George Gadson has been presented with The Jim Moran Foundation Award.
"My husband knew George well — and he very much admired his artistic work, generous heart and meaningful philanthropy,” said Jan Moran, chairman and president of The Jim Moran Foundation. “In fact, it was George who first collaborated with Jim to design and then cast the bronze sculpture given to recipients of this special award.”
At a reception alongside his wife, daughter and close friends, George received the bronze sculpture and an unrestricted grant for $100,000 — reflecting Jim Moran would have turned 100 in 2018 — to the nonprofit of George's choice, Art-Turnatives for Building Communities.
