Artadia Awards 2013
Deadline: January 15, 2012
Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue is now accepting applications for the Artadia Awards 2013 San Francisco from all visual artists living and working in the five-county San Francisco Bay Area: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo. Individual artists and collaboratives working in all media and at any point in their career are strongly encouraged to apply. Awardees will be selected in the winter of 2013 through Artadia’s two-tiered jury process. This is Artadia’s eighth awards cycle in San Francisco.
Artadia supports visual artists with unrestricted awards and connections to a network of opportunities, while providing local communities with national exposure. By awarding significant financial awards to artists, Artadia establishes a strong new incentive to support artistic excellence. We embrace the local to become an integral part of communities, and we then help connect these communities to the national stage. Artadia was founded as The ArtCouncil in 1997 by investment banker and art collector Christopher E. Vroom. The first awards were given in San Francisco, where Vroom was living at the time. Chicago was added as a program city in 2001. In 2003, Artadia added Houston to its roster, Boston in 2007, and Atlanta in 2009. Once Artadia commits to a community, it runs the awards program and cosponsors public programs with a local institution. Started as an individual’s vision, Artadia’s base of support now includes private foundations, a national Board of Directors, a National Council, a Junior Council, and members who are active in supporting the core of creative culture: the individual artist.
