Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
🌊 Dear friends of art and transformation, 🌊
A heartfelt thank you to all artists and creatives who submitted their powerful works for this year’s Social Art Award under the theme: “Planetary Healing – Blue Tribes for Ocean Health.” Your inspiring visions speak to ocean restoration, biodiversity, and reimagining our coexistence with all life forms on Earth.
After receiving 922 submissions from across all continents, and concluding a very active public voting phase, the Social Art Award now enters its next chapter:
🔹 What’s next?
The professional jury panel is currently reviewing and selecting the TOP 100 entries that will be featured in the official Social Art Award 2025 book. In parallel, the two public voting winners will move forward as wildcards into the final jury round.
🔹 Coming up:
-
Shortlisted artists (TOP 10) will be announced by mid-June.
-
Winners of the Social Art Award 2025 will be revealed at our Online Award Ceremony on July 2, 2025.
We invite you to stay connected as we celebrate the power of Social Art to drive dialogue, awareness, and collective transformation.
Let’s continue to amplify art as a force for Planetary Healing.
Do Not Give Into Despair
Sophie Florence Mullins-Poole
I have been using the quantum atom, cell, and subatomic particle as a point of reference, through which to abstract and scale fundamental materialities of our worlds. Electrons in the orbit of a nucleus are bound to an insistent wandering, our fundamental atomic reality is incapable of remaining static, change and tranformation are practiced in the innate mechanics of our being. I found it deeply comforting to understand our macroscopic social processes through the formative threads that weave us, particulalrly in and amongst the catastrophising and fear-mongering that are so prevalent in the socio-poltical systems we find ourselves in. In order to care for our ecosystemic relations we cannot fall into despair or heed the fearmonger, we have to continue to act, and continue the task of hoping.
