"We are thrilled to have Alix joining us in Cambridge,” said Idea Exchange CEO Helen Kelly in a press release. “Her enthusiasm for presenting art exhibitions that are engaging and accessible for the broader community is infectious. We look forward to many dynamic public art projects and programs under her leadership.”
