More About Artadia
Artadia's mission is to encourage innovative artistic practice and meaningful dialogue across the United States by providing artists in specific communities with unrestricted awards and a national network of support. Once an artist receives an Artadia Award, he or she becomes a lifetime member of the Artadia network. Artadia was founded as The ArtCouncil in 1997 by investment banker and art collector Christopher E. Vroom, in response to the demise of the National Endowment for the Arts' artist fellowships.
Since Artadia's first San Francisco grants in 1999, the organization has expanded across the country and more than $2 million has been distributed to 200 awardees in San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Boston, and most recently, Atlanta. In 12 years, more than 14,000 artists have applied for the Artadia Awards. Artadia's headquarters are located in Chelsea gallery district to maximize proximity and access for its network and program. Guided by entrepreneurial principles, a full-spectrum board of arts patrons and philanthropists from across the country provides governance.
