The Institute for Art and Innovation e.V. (IAI) is calling for artists and cultural actors of all areas to put forward applications for the Social Art Award 2017.
IAI is a multidisciplinary institute that explores and promotes art as a source of social impact and change. Likeminded artists are given the chance to showcase their work and the aim of the award is to inspire and encourage the rise of social art. They are looking for creatives who aspire to make emotionally-capturing experiences and who wish to heighten the recognition of the value and importance of social art within today’s society. There are no restrictions on medium, gender, training or nationality.
Participants will be given the opportunity to exhibit in Berlin, to receive two printed copies plus the digital version of the ‘Social Art’ book as well as a 1,000 EUR prize.
