Artadia

Artadia is a nonprofit grantmaker and nationwide community of visual artists, curators, and patrons that strives to elevate the careers of artists at pivotal moments in their practice and help strengthen their communities through a proven combination of recognition, grantmaking, community support, and advocacy. Artadia was founded in 1999 by Christopher E. Vroom and a group of arts leaders in San Francisco. After relocating to New York in 2002, Artadia now serves seven major U.S. cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Over two decades, Artadia has celebrated the invaluable role visual artists play in society, offering programs that reflect our mission to not only support artists, but remain informed by them. Through their collaborative work, together with artists’ communities and across the museum and gallery landscape, they have cultivated a rare degree of expertise in creating the conditions necessary for artists from all backgrounds to thrive and succeed.
