Application Now Open for the 2017 Atlanta Artadia Awards

The Atlanta Artadia Awards are open to all visual artists living and working throughout the greater Atlanta area. The 23 eligible counties are: Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Morgan, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton. Individual artists and collaboratives working in all media, and at any stage in their career are strongly encouraged to apply.

Artadia Awardees are selected through a two-tier jury process that combines local expertise with outside perspective from leading curators and one artist. A preliminary panel will evaluate all online submissions and select five Finalists in October. A second panel will conduct studio visits with each Finalist, gaining a broader context for the artists' work. Two Awardees will be selected from the Finalist pool to receive unrestricted Artadia Awards of $10,000.

- Open to anyone living in Atlanta
