2024 SECA Art Award: Rose D'Amato, Angela Hennessy, Rupy C. Tut

Every two years, SFMOMA celebrates Bay Area artists and our creative community with the SECA Art Award. Established in 1967, the award has honored nearly one hundred local recipients with an exhibition and platform for expanding their practices and sharing their work with new audiences. The 2024 SECA Art Award exhibition celebrates Rose D'Amato, Angela Hennessy, and Rupy C. Tut. Each artist has conceived a gallery with new works that bring distinct perspectives, processes, and materials into the museum.

Rose D'Amato (b. 1991, Whittier, California) lives and works in San Francisco. As a second-generation sign maker, she is drawn to decorative folk arts, hand lettering, and the iconic imagery tied to her upbringing and direct experience pinstriping and lettering on lowriders.

Angela Hennessy (b. 1971, Monterey, California) is an Oakland-based artist who constructs sculptures and installations through the gestures of domestic labor -- washing, wrapping, stitching, knotting, brushing, and braiding.

Rupy C. Tut (b. 1985, Chandigarh, India) preserves and reimagines the tradition of eighteenth-century Indian painting through her depictions of women, landscapes, and ancestral figures. Her process is grounded in the labor of making, from grinding and mixing mineral pigments to using fine-tip brushes.
