Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.

Todd Monaghan
This work is inspired by and dedicated to German artist Anselm Kiefer whom Monaghan's work has been compared to. One of Monaghan's New York dealer's asked him to create a series of paintings dedicated and inspired by Kiefer. This piece and another entitled "Annuit Coeptis" are the result of this work. The view is of a path, perhaps the Everglades, that leads to infinity and beyond and celebrates all things green. The piece gets it's texture from repurposed, recycled egg shells.
