Each year we honor a group of extraordinary professionals who work in the Fenway Cultural District to provide a cultural environment that merges both the historical and contemporary elements of the Fenway, into a welcoming and creative experience for residents of the area, residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as national and international visitors of all ages. True to the visionary leadership and spirit of the historical icons within our community, these individuals continuously innovate to create an urban space that provides creative experiences that are culturally relevant, aesthetically engaging, and contribute to the economic vitality of the Fenway Cultural District. These professionals are being honored by The Fenway Alliance and their respective institutions for exhibiting ‘Exceptional Spirit’ in their work.
