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.

Description:
The installation explores how oceans and water channels shift identities and objects across borders. BrainStorming reflects on our relationship with nature, urging viewers to consider the history of waterways and their role in a rapidly changing world. A video shows a crab in the Red Sea (near the artist's birthplace in Israel) crawling over coral, seemingly in search of a home while carrying its shell- both protection and burden. On the floor rests a used canoe filled with ultramarine blue pigment. The canoe, collected with help from locals, marks a meaningful moment in Anavy’s journey as an immigrant artist connecting with the Long Island Sound community. In the installation, the canoe becomes a symbolic vessel rich with American history and personal narrative, yet stripped of function, while the blue pigment speaks to the artist's painterly identity.
