Asheville N.C. – City of Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer received the 2025 Public Leadership in the Arts Award from Americans for the Arts at the 93rd Winter Meeting of The United States Conference of Mayors in Washington, DC this past weekend. These awards honor three distinguished leaders’ steadfast support and advocacy for the arts.
About the awardees, Jamie Bennett and Suzy Delvalle, Interim Co-CEOs of Americans for the Arts, shared: “They know that the arts make us stronger – as individuals, families, cities, and states – so they have prioritized arts and culture in public policy and community initiatives focused on local economies, health and well-being, and education. Their work – and their communities – are national examples of what is possible when the public sector invests in arts and culture.”
