Artadia is pleased to announce the 2021 San Francisco Artadia Finalists:
The Finalists will each receive virtual studio visits with second-round jurors, who will ultimately select three artists to receive $10,000 unrestricted funds. This year’s Finalists jurors were Pujan Gandhi, Jan Emison Assistant Curator of South & Southeast Asian Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art; Monetta White, Executive Director, Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco; and Juana Williams, Independent Curator.
Of the Finalists, Pujan Gandhi states “After a stimulating and methodological process, it was such a treat to arrive at these 6 artists, each of whom has crystalized a distinctive approach in their respective medium and left us wanting to learn and see more.”
The 2021 San Francisco Artadia Award application was open to visual artists working in any visual media, at any stage in their career, who have been living and working within nine Bay Area counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma for a minimum of two years.
The 2021 San Francisco Artadia Awards are generously supported by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation as well as the Artadia Board of Directors, Artadia Council Members, and individual donors across the country.
