Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many powerful contributions from artists across the globe. The selected works reflect the diversity of contemporary social art practices and address urgent issues such as climate and water crises, social and economic inequality, migration, conflict, discrimination, and the protection of human and more-than-human life.
Below you will find the submissions from the edition of 2024/2025 that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and supports dialogue around their themes; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your inspiring and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping the Social Art Award 2025.
Salmon Man
Kelly Dillard
This piece is about human consumption and the current position humans hold in the world. Salmon man shows a man unraveling from his natural state of being. Salmon Man shines light on how we view nature. Often we associate a sockeye salmon with a fillet of fish, forgetting or even uninterested in the true beauty that can be found in the natural form of a sockeye. This piece hopes to educate and change perspective.
