About This Opportunity
THE ARTADIA PROCESS
1\. OPEN CALL
The Artadia application is open for one month in each program city, is free to apply and open-call.
2\. APPLICATION REVIEW
A jury of three curators assembled by Artadia, including one locally based curator, reviews all applications and determines a short list of six Finalists.
3\. ROUND TWO STUDIO VISITS
A second jury, assembled by Artadia, made up of one juror from the application review and one new juror conducts virtual studio visits with each Finalist for 45 minutes.
4\. AWARDEES IDENTIFIED
Following the studio visits, the second round jury will designate three Awardees to receive unrestricted funds of $15,000\*, as well as access to the Artadia Network. Awardees are determined based on the sole discretion of the jury. \*The Marciano Artadia Award gives unrestricted funds of $25,000 to one artist in Los Angeles.
For their time and labor in the application process, Artadia provides honorariums to each Finalist ultimately not chosen as an Awardee.
