Southern Exposure: 2009 Atalanta Artadia Awardees The Boston Center for the Arts, in partnership with Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue guest curated by Dina Deitsch, Associate Curator of contemporary art, deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA.

Featured Artists: Tristan Al-Haddad, Don Cooper (Judith Alexander Artadia Awardee), Ruth Dusseault, Fahamu Pecou, Jerry Siegel, Larry Walker, and Angela West.

Southern Exposure launches the Artadia Exhibitions Exchange, a ground-breaking exhibitions initiative to foster dialogue and exchange between artists, peer organizations, and arts communities around the country. Through five exhibitions in 2010–11, the Artadia Exhibitions Exchange strengthens opportunities for artists’ and curators’ professional development. By exhibiting recent Awardees from one Artadia city in another program city, the series of five shows provides vital exposure for Artadia Awardees as well as new avenues for curatorial enrichment. The Artadia Awardees 2009 Boston will be exhibited at the San Francisco Art Institute Walter and McBean Galleries in summer 2011 as part of this program.
