The artists’ works will be displayed at the Tribeca Festival Hub at Spring Studios throughout the festival before being presented to this year’s festival award winners. “For two decades, Tribeca and Chanel have stood together in support of artists who dare to tell new stories and challenge the limits of form and genre,” Tribeca co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal said in a statement Tuesday. “This year’s Artist Awards cohort is a powerful reflection of that mission — visionary artists whose work, like the films they honor, demands we see the world differently. In every medium, these creators are shaping culture and inspiring the future of storytelling.”

Curator Zoe Lukov said, “As I started to think about who to invite for this prestigious award, I realized that many of the artists I consider to be genius in their approach can’t be defined by any one medium at all. Much like the filmmakers who will win one of these generously-donated artworks, they all are rooted in the knowledge of our past while pushing us to imagine new futures. This cohort is multi-generational and from diverse backgrounds, drawing from the deep wells of their personal experiences and ancestral histories to generate works that resonate with a broad public.”
Tribeca Festival kicks off June 4 and runs through June 15.
