SAN DIEGO ART PRIZE
Recognition of Excellence in the Visual Arts
The SD ART PRIZE is dedicated to the idea that the visual arts are a necessary and rewarding ingredient of any world-class city and a building block of the lifestyle of its residents. Conceived to promote and encourage dialogue, reflection and social interaction about San Diego’s artistic and cultural life, this annual award honors artistic expression. The 2006-2007 SD ART PRIZE, a cash prize, will spotlight three established San Diego artists and three emerging artists whose outstanding achievements in the field of Visual Arts merit the recognition and prize.
Over the course of the year, a series of exhibits will run simultaneously at the L Street Gallery at the Omni Hotel, and on the websites: SanDiegoArtist.com and SDVisualArts.net (SDVAN). Each exhibition will pair an established artist with an emerging artist.
