Artists as Activists

Eligibility:

The theme for the Arts Annual 2025 will be Artist as Activist and we will request work that reflects artistic thoughts and responses to that concept. Artist as Activist is an artist who harnesses the power of creativity to inspire social and political action. Unlike traditional activism that primarily uses direct action or advocacy, artists engage in activism through various forms. In this case visual art. They use their work to challenge norms, raise awareness about issues, and inspire audiences to think critically about the world around them.

We will look for artists whose work tackles a wide range of topics and concerns such as human rights and access to resources, environmental awareness and justice, racial and gender equalities, health and well-being, and the political and cultural climate. Their work may serve as vehicles for expressing advocacy, highlighting injustices, and envisioning alternatives. By capturing emotions, experiences, and truths through their art, they aim to promote empathy, ignite dialogue, and encourage individuals toward collective action.
