ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible to apply for the 2019 San Francisco Artadia Awards, artists must fulfill the following requirements:
Be a contemporary visual artist (making artwork for presentation in a contemporary art context: museum, galleries, arts non-profit, the public art realm, etc. Artadia does not fund filmmakers making films for distribution in cinematic venues).
Live and work within the five counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo
Have resided in one of the five Bay Area counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo for a minimum of two years.
Not currently be enrolled in a full-time art-related degree program.
Not be related to Artadia staff or directors in any way.
Have not received an Artadia Award or an award from The Art Council for $10,000 or more in the past.
The Awards are based on merit: defined as a rigorous engagement with a set of ideas embodied in materials, a depth of practice and a clearly articulated and developed voice. Artadia does not fund projects.
Previous jurors have recommended that artists submit work that has been created within the past three years. Though you may submit more than one slide of the same artwork, we recommend that you provide a representative sample of the breadth of your creative work.
Video submissions are limited to video art, animation, and performance documentation. Feature length commercial films and documentaries, music videos, and commercial music projects are not eligible. Please do not send documentation of sculpture or other works as video. If time-based media is not your primary medium, do not use this option.
APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
Artadia employs a rigorous two-tier jury process that combines local expertise with outside perspective from leading national and international curators and one artist. A preliminary panel evaluates all submissions and selects five Award Finalists. A second panel of two curators based in the Award city will conduct studio visits with the five Finalists. Of the Finalists, the jurors will designate two Awardees to receive unrestricted funds of $10,000.
