Tribeca Festival and CHANEL today announced the artists selected as part of the 2023 Artist Awards Program. As in previous years, Tribeca and CHANEL bring together esteemed artists to generously donate an original work, which will be awarded to winning filmmakers of the Festival, which runs June 7-18.
This year, the remarkable, all women-cohort of 10 acclaimed artists invited by Tribeca and CHANEL to celebrate their fellow storytellers are Ana Benaroya, Beverly Fishman, Christie Neptune, Lisa Lebofsky, Natia Lemay, Patricia Encarnacion, Renee Cox, Sheree Hovsepian, Shinique Smith, and Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz. The selection of artists and their work has been led by curator Racquel Chevremont.
“Tribeca and CHANEL recognize the significance of representation and the undeniable impact women artists can have when their work and stories are in the spotlight,” said Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal. “We are dedicated to celebrating creativity and culture, fostering diverse voices, and encouraging the development of a new generation of visionaries. Our eighteen-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 women’s artistry, which reflects our reality and shapes our understanding of the world.”
