Artadia Announces 2017 Los Angeles Award Finalists

Artadia is pleased to announce the five Finalists for the 2017 Los Angeles Artadia Awards:

Carmen Argote
Jibade-Khalil Huffman
Kahlil Joseph
Gelare Khoshgozaran
Gala Porras-Kim

The Finalists were selected by jurors Daniel Joseph Martinez, artist, Los Angeles, CA; Yesomi Umolu, Exhibitions Curator, Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, Chicago, IL; and Anuradha Vikram, Artistic Director, 18th Street Arts Center, Los Angeles, CA.

This is Artadia's third Award cycle in Los Angeles and Artadia received 500 applications. The application was open to all visual artists living in Los Angeles County for over two years, working in any media, and at any stage of their career. Finalists and Artadia Award recipients are selected through Artadia's rigorous, two-tier jury review process. In the first round of review, jurors evaluated the merit of all submissions and collaboratively determined the five Finalists. Each Finalist will receive a studio visit with a panel of second round jurors, who will ultimately select two artists as Awardees to receive $10,000 in unrestricted funds.

Artadia will offer Awards to visual artists in Los Angeles, and each of its Award cities, every year, beginning with this cycle. The 2018 LA Artadia Award application will be open throughout January 2018. Click here for more information on all upcoming deadlines.
