TRIBECA FESTIVAL AND CHANEL UNVEIL 2024 ARTIST AWARDS PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS
THIS YEAR'S CURATION OF ARTISTS SHOWCASE THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF DIVERSE VOICES IN STORYTELLING
New York, NY, May 22, 2024 - The 2024 Tribeca Festival, which runs June 5-16, and CHANEL today announced the artists selected as part of the 2024 Artist Awards Program. Since 2005, Tribeca and CHANEL have brought together esteemed artists who generously gift an original work to winning filmmakers of the Festival.
This year, the exceptional group of artists invited by Tribeca and CHANEL embodies a wide spectrum of perspectives, backgrounds, and identities, affirming the essential role of diverse voices in storytelling. This year's participants include Deborah Kass, Erick & Elliot Jim nez, Glenn Ligon, Jenny Holzer, Joiri Minaya, Jos Parl , Juliana Huxtable, Maia Cruz Palileo, Paul Anthony Smith, and Tourmaline. Curator Racquel Chevremont led the selection of artists and their work.
Tribeca and CHANEL recognize the undeniable impact diverse artists can have when their work and stories are in the spotlight, said Tribeca Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. We are dedicated to celebrating creativity and culture, championing diverse voices, and encouraging the development of a new generation of visionaries. Our nineteen-year partnership with CHANEL underscores our joint commitment to honoring powerful storytelling, artistic excellence, and the spirit of artists supporting other artists. We invite audiences to join us in this celebration and discover the transformative power of diverse artistry.
Since its inception, the Artist Awards Program has recognized the intersection between creative fields and celebrated New York City's enduring spirit of cultural innovation. The tradition of supporting artistic creativity and vision traces back to the start of the Tribeca Festival, which was founded with a mission to rebuild and regenerate the artistic life of New York City in the wake of 9/11. Tribeca's enduring impact on the community has prompted studio artists to engage directly with the Festival by supporting and celebrating fellow storytellers. Solidarity and generosity remain core values of the Festival, as demonstrated by the Artists Awards Program each year.
As the curator for this year's Artist Awards Program, I am honored to showcase the exceptional talents of these diverse creators, said the 2024 Artist Awards curator Racquel Chevremont. Each artist brings a unique vision and narrative, enriching the dialogue of storytelling and emphasizing the importance of inclusive narratives in shaping our cultural landscape.
CHANEL continues its support of the annual Artist Awards Program for the 19th year, which celebrates the leading filmmakers and artists of our time. Art has been integral to the House of CHANEL throughout its history. House founder and visionary Gabriel Chanel surrounded herself with the leading artists of her time, drawing inspiration and support from her fellow creative peers. CHANEL's collaboration with the Tribeca Festival is a testament to the brand's continuous commitment to creation and artistry in their varied forms.
This year's art collection will be displayed at the Tribeca Festival Hub at Spring Studios throughout the Festival.
In a short film created exclusively for the Festival, Deborah Kass, Jos Parl , Paul Anthony Smith and Racquel Chevrement talk about the program, the vibrancy of Tribeca and the effect of artists supporting artists. Artist Awards video available HERE.
