This year's CADD FUNd will be awarded to a current or previous B.A, B.F.A., M.A. or M.F.A. graduate or candidate from an institution within 100 miles of Dallas. Six finalists will be selected from all of the applicants by three jurors including: Justine Ludwig, Director of Exhibitions/Senior Curator, The Dallas Contemporary; Michael Mazurek, Curator for the Goss-Michael Foundation; and Jed Morse, Chief Curator for the Nasher Sculpture Center. During the event on October 18th, the six finalists will present short proposals for original and yet-to-be-realized new projects. Members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions and then the audience participants will vote for their favorite project.
