2023 Art Prize @ the San Diego Public Library
The Library Foundation SD, San Diego Public Library, and founder San Diego Visual Arts Network are pleased to be among the supporters of San Diego Art Prize, celebrating visual artists from the San Diego region and bringing awareness to the distinction and excellence of their work.
The visual arts—and, all art forms—are an important part of library programming. The library provides visible opportunities for local and regional artists and connections to art and culture while encouraging access and dialogue through a cultural lens.
Congratulations to Anya Gallaccio, Janelle Iglesias, Joe Yorty, and Mely Barragán for being selected to receive the 2023 SD Art Prize for their outstanding creativity, dedication to their work, and contributions to our region.
San Diego Art Prize, like the library, is dedicated to the idea that the visual arts are a necessary and rewarding ingredient of any world-class city and a building block of the lifestyle of its residents. Conceived to promote and encourage dialogue, reflection, and social interaction about San Diego’s artistic and cultural life, this annual award honors artistic expression.
