NADA & Artadia Celebrate Artists and Curators with Group Exhibition at NADA Miami 2018

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) and Artadia are pleased to announce a collaborative group exhibition at NADA Miami 2018, which will celebrate past NADA Artadia Award recipients. Since 2012, NADA and Artadia have partnered to present the NADA Artadia Award, a $5,000 unrestricted grant to an artist exhibiting at each fair, in New York and Miami, through a curator-driven jury process.

The booth features artworks by 11 grantees from the previous six years of the NADA Artadia Award.

"The NADA Artadia Award was founded to recognize underrepresented artists. In the sixth year of this partnership, we couldn't be more proud to highlight the works of NADA Artadia Award recipients with our first collaborative booth," said Heather Hubbs, NADA Executive Director.

Collectively, 11 NADA Artadia Award recipients have been selected by 22 internationally-acclaimed curators, including Natalie Bell, New Museum Associate Curator (New York 2018); Andria Hickey, Pace Gallery Senior Director and Curator (Miami 2017); Jose Carlos Diaz, Chief Curator, the Andy Warhol Museum (Miami 2017); and Gianni Jetzer, Curator at Large, The Hirshhorn (New York 2017).

"Artadia and NADA both recognize the importance of the vital artist community shown by NADA member galleries and at the dynamic NADA art fairs. We are thrilled to be partnering with NADA to support artists with crucial funds and exposure through the NADA Artadia Award program and to commemorate this partnership through a retrospective booth to highlight the dynamic work of all the diverse NADA Artadia Awardees," said Carolyn Ramo, Artadia Executive Director.

The NADA Artadia Award acknowledges innovative voices working in contemporary art today. This unique collaboration highlights the ways in which nonprofit organizations and art fairs can come together to celebrate artistic excellence. Through its partnership with NADA, Artadia is able to extend the reach of its Awards program internationally. The curator-driven selection process, integral to all Artadia Awards, provides exhibiting artists exposure to influential professionals in the field.
