Artadia has active awards programs in the following cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. Awards are granted in participating cities on a rotating basis. Artadia Awards are $10,000, and are unrestricted. The award money can be used however the artist sees fit.

Artadia chooses to fund artists in cities that demonstrate a commitment to contemporary art. These cities are notable for:

The active presence of local artists in the community.
Art institutions recognized for innovative contemporary programming.
A commercial art market that offers artists opportunities to show their work locally and at art fairs.
Exemplary schools that prepare artists through undergraduate and graduate programs.

Artadia is thrilled to be offering Awards to visual artists in each one of its Award cities every year. The application dates will remain the same from year to year. You can find the application via Submittable.
