Annual Funders

Each year, an open-call application is made available in each of the seven active partner cities. Supporting artists equitably is a critical part of the Artadia Award process: we consider the unique populations of each community and are proud to reflect our country’s diversity with an Awardee pool that is over 50 percent female and over 40 percent persons of color.

In addition to financial support, Awardees can participate in the Artadia Network to receive structured opportunities for valuable new connections and resource sharing as well as receive a dedicated webpage on Artadia’s online Artist Registry. Connections fostered by Artadia have facilitated major steps in Awardees’ careers, such as inclusion in prominent exhibitions (e.g. six Awardees are featured in the 2024 Whitney Biennial, and seven Awardees in Prospect.6 New Orleans).

Beyond Artadia’s anchored program cities, we offer annual awards such as the roving Award with 21c Museum Hotels and the SEEN Award – a dedicated Award for women-identifying artists with ancillary programming.

Please note: The only way to apply to Artadia Awards is through Submittable. We do not accept materials via email or any other channel.

1. OPEN CALL
The Artadia application is open for one month in each program city, is free to apply and open-call.

2. APPLICATION REVIEW
A jury of three curators assembled by Artadia, including one locally based curator, reviews all applications and determines a short list of six Finalists.

3. ROUND TWO STUDIO VISITS
A second jury, assembled by Artadia, made up of one juror from the application review and one new juror conducts virtual studio visits with each Finalist for 45 minutes.

4. AWARDEES IDENTIFIED
Following the studio visits, the second round jury will designate three Awardees to receive unrestricted funds of $15,000*, as well as access to the Artadia Network. Awardees are determined based on the sole discretion of the jury. *The Marciano Artadia Award gives unrestricted funds of $25,000 to one artist in Los Angeles.

For their time and labor in the application process, Artadia provides honorariums to each Finalist ultimately not chosen as an Awardee.
