Council

With an annual donation at a Council level, Artadia donors gain access to one-year of exclusive experiences with our network of Awardees, arts professionals, and art enthusiasts. The Artadia Council receives invitations to our signature studio crawls—a day-long event in which we visit the studios of a city’s three Awardees. We also offer exhibition tours with curators and artists, access to VIP passes for acclaimed art fairs, and donor trips to national and international art destinations*.
