SEEN AWARD

The Artadia SEEN Award will annually dedicate one unrestricted award of $15,000 to a woman-identifying artist. The SEEN Award seeks to shift the long-standing dynamics of the art world that have favored male artists by recognizing a woman-identifying artist at a pivotal stage in her career.
