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.
Wallasea Island - RSPB Nature Reserve
Madeleina
This abstract landscape oil painting depicts a timelapse of the restoration project on Wallasea Island - RSPB reserve in the UK. The newly created saltmarsh, mudflats and lagoons was created from three million tonnes of soil excavated during the creation of the Elizabeth Line in London, which the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds used to raise land levels and create a new 115-hectare intertidal area of saltmarsh, islands and mudflats (known as Jubilee Marsh). It's now a wildlife-rich haven, and the perfect spot for many invertebrates and fish to flourish, and for birds to feed and roost.
