College Art Association honors Nimmer's teaching
MassArt professor emeritus Dean Nimmer has won the 2010 "Distinguished Teaching of Art Award" from the College Art Association, the New York-based nonprofit has announced. The award will be presented at the association's annual conference in Chicago on Feb. 10.
Nimmer, the association says, "has had a distinguished, dynamic, and astonishing career as an educator, empowering generations of artists through his enthusiasm and unbridled creativity. After thirty-four years of teaching painting, drawing, and printmaking in Boston, Nimmer thwarted all expectations for a retired professor by embarking on a second career as community arts educator, author, and provocateur. His recently published book, Art from Intuition: Overcoming Your Fears and Obstacles to Making Art (New York: Watson-Guptill, 2008), is a vehicle for him to share his wisdom with a new generation of artists and educators."
