in 2021 we launched the Nova Institute Art Award to celebrate our relationship with the Nova Institute for Health of People, Places, and Planet. We invite any work that seeks to provoke or inspire change for the health of people, places, and planet!
Why we think this is important |
Creativity of all kinds is vital for our future. Artists challenge the status quo, provide inspiration, and help create new narratives. Through our art we hold a mirror to societies that we may better see ourselves, celebrate what is beautiful, and understand what is broken. Bringing the conversation directly to the heart helps us all feel connected to something bigger with greater kindness, love, and compassion. Creativity provides new perspectives and possibilities for change, a stronger sense of community, belonging, and shared purpose towards overcoming challenges at every scale. This is something that everyone can be part of…because we can all find joy in creating!
Inviting people of all ages and perspectives to share
Sharing creativity is also a special opportunity to invite children into important conversations about change and give voice to their hopes and imaginings for the future. This helps remind us all what is important, encourage authenticity, and break down barriers. It creates a place of respect and meaning where we can find fulfilling self-expression as well as shared solutions and mutual benefits with the health of all people, places, and planet in mind.
