History

Artadia was founded in San Francisco in 1999 by businessman and art collector Christopher E. Vroom and a group of art collectors and philanthropists who sought to increase financial and professional support for artists. [1] [2] In 2002, Artadia relocated to New York and increased the geographical scope of its grant making to include seven cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. Patton Hindle succeeded longtime executive director Carolyn Ramo on October 23, 2023. [3] [4]

Programs

The Artadia Award is offered through an open call application, available to artists in six cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, [5] Los Angeles, [6] New York [7] and San Francisco. Artist recipients are selected by a rotating team of curators who make studio visits with finalists. Artadia Award funds are unrestricted and typically $10,000.[ citation needed ]

Artadia awards two specialized grants, the Marciano Artadia Award, a $25,000 award given to a Los Angeles–based artist, [8] in addition to two standard grantees, and the NADA Artadia Award, which is presented in partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance at their art fairs in Miami. [9]

Artadia presents an Art & Dialogue program series, which includes studio visits, public programs, and online media showcasing awardees, including free public talks by curators presented in collaboration with local partner organizations. [10] [11] Artadia oversees the Artadia Fellowship, which supports immigrant and refugee artists with connections to Artadia awardees in the Houston art community. [12]

In 2019 the organization introduced a grant for emerging artists. [13] During the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic, the organization announced a plan to distribute $10 million to artists impacted by the crisis by distributing $5000 grants to 100 artists per week, ultimately funding 2000 artists. [14] [15] [16]

Since 1999, Artadia has given grants to over 331 artists.[ citation needed ]

Notably, the Artforum logo is a bold and condensed iteration of the Akzidenz-Grotesk font, a feat for an American publication to have considering how challenging it was to obtain fonts favored by the Swiss school via local European foundries in the 1960s. Artforum is published by Artforum Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation. Currently, the magazine is without editorial leadership.
