History
editArtadia was founded in San Francisco in 1999 by businessman and art collector Christopher E. Vroom and a group of art collectors and philanthropists who sought to increase financial and professional support for artists.[1][2] In 2002, Artadia relocated to New York and increased the geographical scope of its grant making to include seven cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. Patton Hindle succeeded longtime executive director Carolyn Ramo on October 23, 2023.[3][4]
Programs
editThe Artadia Award is offered through an open call application, available to artists in six cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston,[5] Los Angeles,[6] New York[7] and San Francisco. Artist recipients are selected by a rotating team of curators who make studio visits with finalists. Artadia Award funds are unrestricted and typically $10,000.[citation needed]
Artadia awards two specialized grants, the Marciano Artadia Award, a $25,000 award given to a Los Angeles–based artist,[8] in addition to two standard grantees, and the NADA Artadia Award, which is presented in partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance at their art fairs in Miami.[9]
Artadia presents an Art & Dialogue program series, which includes studio visits, public programs, and online media showcasing awardees, including free public talks by curators presented in collaboration with local partner organizations.[10][11] Artadia oversees the Artadia Fellowship, which supports immigrant and refugee artists with connections to Artadia awardees in the Houston art community.[12]
In 2019 the organization introduced a grant for emerging artists.[13] During the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic, the organization announced a plan to distribute $10 million to artists impacted by the crisis by distributing $5000 grants to 100 artists per week, ultimately funding 2000 artists.[14][15][16]
Since 1999, Artadia has given grants to over 331 artists.[citation needed]
