About

Artadia Artists Files

The Artadia Artist Files is a unique interactive online gallery showcasing all Artadia Awards recipients in our network. Since the first awards were distributed in 1999, Artadia has awarded more than $2.0 million in direct support to over 200 visual artists. Artadia Awards are determined through a rigorous jury process which engages prominent curators, artists and museum professionals from around the globe. Artadia Awardees range in age from 21 to 73 years old and are at varied career stages.

The content of the Artist Files is entirely user driven. Artadia Awardees have a personal portfolio page they edit and update with images of their artwork. Artist statements, resumes, search keywords and web links are all managed by the artists directly.

All are invited to explore the Artist Files and discover the breadth of talent resident in cities across the United States.

Artists are invited to browse through the network and explore more than 200 artist files entries online. Connect with Artadia Awardees in your community or comment on a fellow artist’s work by using the “email artist” function.

Collectors can create a lightbox of Artadia Awardees by registering with the Artist Files, or can browse to explore visual artists across all media. You can search by keyword to find artists working in a particular medium, or sort by city to find artists around the corner, or across the country. Use the “email artist” function to connect with an artist whose work you find of interest and begin a dialogue.

Curators, gallerists and arts professionals can browse, create a lightbox, and correspond with artists using the email feature to schedule a studio visit.

Arts enthusiasts can browse Artadia Awardees, or create a lightbox by registering with Artist Files. Once you have registered you can logon at any time to look and edit the content of your lightbox.

We are grateful to the Orentreich Family Foundation for supporting the development and design of the Artadia Artist Files.
