All awardees are listed below in full.

Lisa Mezzacappa, California: Music/Sound

 

Inaugural Chiaro Award for painters to Mike Cloud
Brooklyn-based painter Mike Cloud,whose practice pushes the conceptual boundaries and politics of painting, is the recipient of the inaugural Chiaro Award, a fully sponsored artist residency and 15,000 USD cash prize for an accomplished mid-career painter residing in the United States.

 

Chamberlain Award to Matthew Mazzotta
Conceptual artist Matthew Mazzotta will be the second recipient of the Chamberlain Award, designed to support an artist working in the discipline of social practice including, but not limited to, non-studio based art, art that is socially engaged, art that reflects on human lives, as well as art that comments upon and contributes to conversations about society.
