Artadia’s Art & Dialogue Series:

In April 2015, Artadia launches Art & Dialogue, a national program designed to expand
support for Awardees. Art & Dialogue was developed through in-depth research of artists’
needs, and will bridge meaningful connections between the artists, curators, and audiences
in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Each Art & Dialogue
program will provide increased visibility to participating Awardees, and the cultural landscape
of the cities where they live and work.

For the 2015 season of Art and Dialogue, Artadia will invite six curators from prominent
institutions across the country to visit each of its Award cities. Each Art & Dialogue program
will consist of three parts: curators will conduct studio visits with Awardees, present a public
program with a local cultural partner, and provide a summary of their experience upon returning
to their home institution. All Art & Dialogue programs will be documented, anthologized on
Artadia’s website, and publicized internationally.
