Niki Price has announced her departure from the Lincoln City Cultural Center after 14 transformative years, during which the center's budget increased by 600%, largely through community support and grants. She revitalized the Delake School, now a welcoming center for about 41,000 annual visitors who enjoy diverse cultural activities. The center's offerings reflect a commitment to diversity and inclusion, with programs ranging from yoga classes to theater performances and an art gallery. Community members commend her leadership and unique ability to connect people.
Earlier this month, Price announced that her last day with the cultural center will be August 31. Her departure caps 14 years in which the nonprofit's budget has increased by 600% - more than half coming from community support and grants - and its lease with the city 'sets it up for success in perpetuity.'
Price has overseen the transformation of the once decrepit Delake School into a charming piece of 20th-century architecture that welcomes about 41,000 visitors through its doors annually.
The variety of happenings at the center speak not only to the nonprofit's commitment to diversity and inclusion, but also to Price's ability to bring everyone into the community fold.
'I've known Niki as a community leader in many aspects, and she just has a style and skill set that is going to be really, really missed,' Harlan said.
