Henry Alexander, brother of Judith Alexander, founded our small foundation in 2005. We came together, as Judith’s friends and family, having been inspired by her uniqueness, with a dedication to keeping the spark of her spirit alive in the world.

Our heartfelt desire is to inspire and engage our community by promoting and supporting Georgia artists and arts organizations and to aid in extending the understanding of the importance of art in our society to future generations.

While Judith was supportive in myriad ways to many artists, her primary focus in later years was on the artist Nellie Mae Rowe.  Judith insured a lasting legacy with her major gift of 130 pieces of Nellie Mae Rowe's work to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and through the establishment of a permanent, rotating display there. We are devoted to sustaining that legacy.
