About
Artadia’s Art & Dialogue is a national program designed to expand support for Artadia’s growing network of Awardees. Artadia currently supports over 300 Awardees working in a diverse array of disciplines in six cities across the country. Developed through in-depth research of artists’ needs, Art & Dialogue bridges connections between visual artists, curators, and diverse publics in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco through a series of studio visits, public programs, and online engagement. All Art & Dialogue programs are documented, anthologized on Artadia’s website, and publicized internationally.
Join Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, artist and Co-founder of Beta-Local, Puerto Rico, for a free public program at Lawndale. Santiago Muñoz will visit Houston for three days to participate in Art & Dialogue. During her stay, she will visit with eight Artadia Awardees.
