Artadia is currently accepting applications for the 2024 Atlanta Awards, aimed at supporting visual artists who have lived and worked in specific counties of Georgia for a minimum of two years. The eligible counties include Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Morgan, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton. This grant program is open to individual artists and collaboratives working in all visual media, regardless of their career stage. The awards will be determined through a two-tier jury process in the fall of 2024.

The primary purpose of the 2024 Atlanta Artadia Awards is to provide financial support to contemporary visual artists. The awards are intended to help artists further their work and contribute to the cultural landscape of the region. Awardees will receive unrestricted funds, allowing them the flexibility to use the money as they see fit to support their artistic endeavors.

Funding for the awards ranges from $15,000 to $25,000, with three artists selected to receive $15,000 each in unrestricted funds. The grant does not specify a duration, indicating that the funds can be utilized at the discretion of the awardees. This financial support is designed to empower artists to pursue their creative projects without the constraints often associated with more restrictive funding.

To be eligible for the 2024 Atlanta Artadia Awards, applicants must be contemporary visual artists who create work for presentation in contemporary art contexts, such as museums, galleries, and public art. Applicants must reside in one of the specified counties and have lived there for at least two years. Additionally, they must not be currently enrolled in or planning to attend an art-related degree program. Applicants must also not have any familial relationship with Artadia staff or directors and should not have previously received an award from Artadia or its predecessor, The Art Council, that exceeds $10,000. If applying as a collaborative, the applicant must be the sole conceptual author of the submitted artwork.

The submission requirements for the grant include a completed application form, which can be found on the Artadia website. Applicants will need to provide details about their artistic practice and submit examples of their work. The application process is competitive, and the evaluation criteria will focus on the quality of the artwork, the artist's vision, and the potential impact of the award on the artist's career.

The timeline for the 2024 Atlanta Artadia Awards includes a deadline for applications set for October 1, 2024. The selection process will take place in the fall of 2024, with jurors designating the awardees.
