Artadia’s mission is to encourage innovative practice and meaningful dialogue across the United
States by providing visual artists in specific communities with unrestricted awards and a national
network of support. Founded in 1997 as the Art Council, Inc. by collector and investment banker
Christopher E. Vroom, Artadia is a 501©(3) non-profit organization. Artadia Awards are determined
through a jury process that employs nationally prominent curators, artists, and critics. Since its
founding, Artadia has awarded over $2.0 million to more than 200 artists in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Houston, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Most recently Artadia launched an artist residency program,
which brings Artadia Awardees from each of its programcities to New York for a three-month residency
at the International Studio and Curatorial Program, Brooklyn. The program is made possible with
support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Visionary support for Artadia in San Francisco is provided by The San Francisco Foundation and many
generous individuals.
