The United Nations SDG Action Campaign and the HUG, a global community for artists, have launched two collaborative Open Calls for upcoming art exhibitions. Artists from around the world are invited to submit artwork that reimagines and recalibrates political, economic, social, and environmental systems for a peaceful, just, and inclusive present and a hopeful future. Submissions are open until 15 August 2024. This is a chance to contribute to a powerful movement using art to take action, inspire change and promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The selected artworks will be showcased in the coming months at key milestone events including the UN General Assembly High-Level Week in New York and the UN SDG Action Awards Ceremony in Rome.
