Deadline: 15-Oct-21
Nominations are now open for Artadia Awards to provide financial support, exposure and recognition to artists.
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: they consider the unique populations of each community and are proud to reflect the country’s diversity with an Awardee pool that is over 50 percent female and over 40 percent persons of color.
Award Information
- Following the studio visits, the second round jury will designate three Awardees to receive unrestricted funds of $10,000, as well as access to the Artadia Network. Awardees are determined based on the sole discretion of the jury. Marciano Artadia Awardee receives unrestricted funds of $25,000.
- The awards are unrestricted, allowing artists to use the funds in any way they choose.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must 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, or those working in choreography presented outside of a contemporary art context.
- Applicants must be currently living and working within the city’s eligible counties and resided there for at least two years prior to the application deadline.
- Not currently be enrolled in an art-related degree program, nor be planning to attend an art-related degree program in the coming year.

- Have not received an Artadia Award or an award from The Art Council for $5,000 or more in the past.
- If you are enrolled in a long-term artist residency program, please note you are only eligible to apply in the Award city where you permanently reside. Additionally, you must make yourself available to meet with jurors for a 45 minute virtual studio visit should you be chosen as a Finalist.
- Unless applying as a collaborative, you must be the sole conceptual author of the artwork submitted in the application; if there are collaborators that share authorship of submitted work they must be clearly identified and credited.
Collaborations
- Collaboratives are welcome to apply within a single application.
- One person from the collaborative should be listed as the contact person for that application.
- In the address field, please enter “c/o contact name” before street address.
- If you are both a member of a collective and an individual artist, you may only apply once per awards cycle.
- All members of the collaborative must agree to apply for the Artadia Award and approve the use of all application materials.
- All members of a collaborative team must reside in the corresponding city and meet all other eligibility requirements.
