Artadia has active awards programs in the following cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Awards are granted in participating cities on a rotating basis. Artadia Awards are $15,000 and are unrestricted: The award money can be used however the artist sees fit.

    •    The active presence of local artists in the community.

   •    Art institutions recognized for innovative contemporary programming.

   •    A commercial art market that offers artists opportunities to show their work locally and at art fairs.

   •    Exemplary schools that prepare artists through undergraduate and graduate programs.

*The Los Angeles Awards cycle currently includes a third award of $25,000 in unrestricted funds.
