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.
Sojourn
Charles C. Clear III
A meditation on resilience and the quiet strength of nature, ‘Sojourn’ captures the ever-shifting dialogue between land and sea. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the rocky shoreline near Point Judith Light in Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA, this piece explores the interplay of light, texture, and movement. The smooth, timeworn stones stand firm as waves crash and retreat—an enduring metaphor for perseverance in the face of life’s relentless tides.
