NEXUS AWARD Justin Garrett Moore Program Director, Humanities in Place, Mellon Foundation Justin Garrett Moore advances citymaking rooted in justice, inclusion, and shared power. He's built the Mellon Foundation's Humanities in Place program into a national force for equity, following 15 years shaping NYC's public realm through city government. As he transforms the institutions shaping our cities, he consistently centers the voices, histories, and communities too often excluded from design. Justin's leadership has redefined who design serves.
Sometimes New York feels like the big city that it is. And sometimes, on nights like tonight, it feels wonderfully small.
What has been most revealing to me over the past several years is learning just how much change one person can make in a city of this size and complexity.
Again and again, I encounter an extraordinary park, a public space, a cultural initiative, a policy effort, a program supporting students, a collective of extraordinary people making change, or a project advancing equity and civic life, only to discover that Justin Garrett Moore had a hand in shaping it.
His influence is woven through the city in ways that are both visible and invisible. He understands how to work across institutions, disciplines, and communities, bringing people together around a shared vision while ensuring that those too often excluded are at the center of the conversation.
In many ways, Justin has made a big city feel smaller in the best possible sense: leveraging its diversity, talent, and complexity while helping people find common purpose and create meaningful change.
The Nexus Award honors a leader whose ability to build bridges across expertise, institutions, and disciplines has helped shape a more just and inclusive built environment.
Justin, your leadership has had a profound impact not only on our field, but on the everyday lives of New Yorkers. You have helped redefine what design can be, and who it is for. We are honored to recognize you tonight.
