How Chanel supports independent artists with the Tribeca Festival

At the heart of the New York hustle, the Tribeca Festival 2024, in partnership with Chanel, unveiled today the winners of its prestigious Artist Awards program, scheduled from June 5 to 16. Since 2005, this collaboration has been a true blend of vision and mutual support, uniting renowned artists to celebrate talented filmmakers at the festival. This year, 2024, the cast of artists, orchestrated by Tribeca and Chanel, shines with its diversity. From Deborah Kass to Tourmaline, through the Jiménez brothers and Jenny Holzer, these creators embody a spectrum of identities and perspectives, highlighting the vital importance of plurality of voices in narrative art. Under the direction of curator Racquel Chevremont, a rich and eclectic selection of artworks will crown the distinguished filmmakers.

Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca, emphasizes the profound impact of this artistic diversity: «Our nearly two-decade-old alliance with Chanel is not just a tribute to powerful storytelling and artistic excellence, but also a firm commitment to elevating marginal voices and inspiring a new generation of visionaries.» The Artist Awards program is a tradition that celebrates the fusion of creative disciplines and perpetuates the spirit of cultural innovation in New York. Founded in the wake of the September 11 events, the Tribeca Festival has always aimed to revitalize the local art scene. The artists' commitment to this cause is evident each year, showing a solidarity and generosity without fail. Racquel Chevremont, as curator of the Artist Awards 2024, expresses her pride: «It's an honor to showcase these extraordinary talents who, in their own ways, enrich the narrative discourse and demonstrate the crucial importance of inclusive narratives in shaping our cultural landscape.»

Chanel continues its unwavering support for the program, reflecting its history deeply rooted in art. Gabrielle Chanel herself collaborated with artistic icons of her time such as Pablo Picasso and Serge Diaghilev, embedding creative innovation at the heart of the Maison. This partnership with the Tribeca Festival demonstrates Chanel's ongoing commitment to the arts in all their forms. The festival promises an exhilarating exhibition at the Tribeca Festival Hub in Spring Studios, where this year's artistic elite will be showcased, promising visitors an immersion into creative and narrative excellence.
