The Swell Gallery of San Francisco Art Institute will be home to the annual Society of 23 Prize presented to a graduating SFAI graduate student. While there is no monetary award, the highly esteemed recognition of the Prize provides the ten nominees and subsequent winner with a sudden burst of public fame and projected career longevity. The media coverage of the S23 Prize has ultimately created much controversy around the event, including spheres of influence within the walls of SFAI and ultimately, the question – is it art? Artists working in a variety of media including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, video and performance have been nominated, though the S23 Prize has generally been awarded to mixed media artists rooted in Conceptual Art. The gala of the S23 Prize exhibition will also be the evening when the winner is announced.
The event will be held at the Swell Gallery
2565 3rd St., San Francisco, CA 94107
