Artadia Award

The Artadia Awards provide

Grants range from $15,000 - $25,000

financial support, exposure, and recognition to artists. The awards are unrestricted, allowing artists to use the funds in any way they choose.

Each year, an open- call application is made available in each of the six 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.
