Kristie Nilsson

Kristie Nilsson is an account manager at Art Media. Her career began with an internship at the studio of photojournalist Eddie Adams, best known for his Pulitzer Prize–winning 1968 photograph of a Vietcong soldier’s execution. In addition to working as Adams’s assistant, she managed his archive and the syndication of his photographs. Following stints as manager for a number of other photo studios, Nilsson was hired by Photo District News, a trade publication for professional photographers. During her 12 years there, she planned events for PDN’s PhotoPlus Expo and the PDN Photo Annual before moving into a sales and marketing role. As an account executive and membership manager, she focused on PDN’s photography guides, promoting the work of a global group of professional photographers for PDN’s PhotoServe and the Independent Photography Network. After leaving PDN, Nilsson spent several years fundraising for the International Center of Photography and Hudson Riverkeeper, organizations with missions that are close to her heart. She joined Art in America in 2017 as an account manager for the Art in America Guide to Museums, Galleries and Artists. She is inspired every day by her work with artists, editors, museums, and galleries worldwide.
