Artadia is pleased to announce the Awardees for the 2022 New York Award:
This year’s jurors were Nancy Lim, Associate Curator, Painting and Sculpture, SFMoMA, Niama Safia Sandy, Curator, Lecturer, and Multidisciplinary Artist, Susanna V. Temkin, Curator, El Museo del Barrio, and Nat Trotman, Curator, Performance and Media, Guggenheim Museum.
The Awardees will each receive $10,000 in unrestricted funds.
“Representing a diverse cohort working across sculpture, installation, and social practice, Dacres, Meris, and Strada & Keren were selected from a strong pool of nearly 500 applicants whose practices I have been privileged to learn about throughout the jury process.” stated Temkin. Fellow juror Trotman expressed similar sentiments “All six Finalists should be recognized for their extraordinary work, which truly represents the strength, breadth, and complexity of the artistic community in New York City. I am honored to have been able to learn about their practices and to contribute to Artadia’s essential programming in support of artists.”
The 2022 New York 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 throughout the five boroughs–Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island–for a minimum of two years.
Since its founding in 1999, Artadia has awarded over $5 million in unrestricted funds to over 350 artists. Celebrating visual artists and the foundational role they play in shaping society, the Artadia Award benefits three artists annually in each of six major US cities with high concentrations of creative workers—Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Beyond the grant, the Award includes lifelong access to a community of fellow artists and patrons. The Artadia Award is designed to provide essential funding and recognition to artists at pivotal points in their careers, strengthen their communities, and spur new levels of career achievement.
