The Orlando Museum of Art (Facebook | Website) has announced the artists that have been selected for the 2018 Florida Prize in Contemporary Art.
Each year the museum chooses a selection of the State’s most progressive artists to be represented in block buster exhibition. Artists range from emerging to mid-career, but all are exploring issues in contemporary art and in society in exciting ways.
This year’s artists include:
- Carlos Betancourt
- Brooks Dierdorff
- Rafael Domenech
- Gonzalo fuenmayor
- Ya Levy La’Ford
- Jason Lazarus
- Glexis Novoa
- Kerry Phillips
- Kenya (Robinson)
- Jack Stenner
Each chosen artist will show a site-specific body of work that gives an in-depth view of their practice. One artist will be chosen to receive a $20,000 award; the “Florida Prize.”
This year’s exhibition will run from June 2-August 19 and will kick-off with an Opening Preview Party on June 1 from 7-10 p.m. The party is a ticketed event with a sampling of local restaurant fare inspired by the work of the ten Florida Prize artists and a selection of cocktails.
