Craig Nassi’s journey is one of evolution, driven by curiosity, passion, and a desire to make an impact. Born and raised in New York City, Craig pursued his education in Colorado, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. Starting as a secondary school teacher, he nurtured young minds through social studies and sports coaching, fulfilling a personal dream of shaping lives in education.
Craig’s transition into real estate came with the same dedication he brought to teaching. Obtaining his license and founding BCN Development in 1994, he embarked on a mission to redefine urban spaces. From modest beginnings to creating vibrant, mixed-use communities, Craig established himself as a leader in the real estate industry. His efforts were recognized when he was named Ernst & Young Developer of the Year for Colorado in 2000.
Beyond his professional achievements, Craig is deeply committed to mentorship and community involvement. He frequently guest lectures at universities and organizations like YJP (Young Jewish Professionals) and is passionate about inspiring others to follow their dreams. An avid runner and health enthusiast, Craig resides in Manhattan with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, balancing a life of creativity, family, and purpose.
**Educational Background and Philosophy**
Craig’s foundation in educational leadership shapes his approach to art collection. He views each piece not just as an acquisition but as an opportunity for learning and dialogue, reflecting his commitment to sharing knowledge and inspiring others through visual arts.
As the founder of BCN Development, Craig has demonstrated an exceptional ability to recognize potential in urban spaces. This same discerning vision guides his art collection, where he seeks works that transform perspectives and create meaningful dialogue about contemporary life.
Beyond collecting, Craig maintains active involvement in educational initiatives, regularly guest lecturing at universities and organizations like Young Jewish Professionals (YJP) of NYC. His collection serves as a platform for fostering art appreciation and understanding in the community.
The collection focuses on contemporary works that challenge conventional boundaries and explore the intersection of space, society, and human experience. Each piece is selected not only for its artistic merit but for its ability to contribute to broader conversations about art’s role in modern life.
As an avid marathon runner and health enthusiast, Craig brings the same discipline and dedication to his art collection that he applies to all aspects of his life. This commitment is reflected in the thoughtful curation and ongoing development of the collection.
