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.
Blue Whale
Lesova Irina
It will depict a view of the ocean at dusk, where vibrant blue and golden lights symbolize hope and new beginnings. The painting will be created in a style reminiscent of mystical imagery, with light emanating from the ocean as a symbol of healing. At the center of the composition, a giant glowing whale glides above the water, embodying the restoration of the oceans and their deep connection with humanity. This image is meant to inspire collective action to protect the oceans and restore ecosystems.
