The 18th annual Chanel Tribeca Artist Awards Program has debuted an all-female lineup for 2023.

Tribeca Festival award winners can be gifted original works created by artists chosen for this system by curator Racquel Chevremont. This yr’s artists include Ana Benaroya, Beverly Fishman, Christie Neptune, Lisa Lebofsky, Natia Lemay, Patricia Encarnacion, Renee Cox, Sheree Hovsepian, Shinique Smith and Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz. Their artwork can be exhibited throughout the film festival, which runs June 7 through June 18 at Spring Studios. 

“Our focus is on giving women in the humanities their flowers and celebrating their trailblazing contributions to contemporary art,” Chevremont said in a press release announcing this yr’s program. The curator also leads a video that features interviews with the featured artists. “Throughout recorded history, from the cave painting to the camera, women have been driving forces in art around the globe. Yet female creatives remain woefully underrepresented. It’s imperative that we proceed to solicit and showcase the work of ladies artists.”

The Artist Awards Program and the winning filmmakers can be celebrated during an annual dinner hosted by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Paula Weinstein and Chanel on June 12.  

Chanel is a longtime supporter of the Tribeca Festival, and pays homage to Gabrielle Chanel’s commitment to art and creativity through events including the “Through Her Lens” program for emerging female filmmakers.
