Philanthropists Nancy Kranzberg, AB ’66, and Ken Kranzberg were honored with the 2025 Dean’s Medal from WashU’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
Hailing from St. Louis, the duo is co-founders of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation, which manages nearly a dozen studios, workspaces, and venues in the Grand Center Arts District. Both were awarded honorary doctorates in fine arts from WashU last year. At WashU, Nancy has been a member of the WashU Libraries National Council, while Ken has participated on the Sam Fox School National Council and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum’s Art Collection Committee. In their honor, the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Studio for the Illustrated Book and the Kenneth and Nancy Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library have been named.
