The Art Eco-Conception Prize was born from the desire of the Art of Change 21 association to raise awareness among the French artistic scene of environmental and climate issues , to support it in its ecological transition and to enable it to anticipate the major changes to come.
Organised in partnership with the Palais de Tokyo and supported by the Ministry of Culture and ADEME, the Prize has already supported 24 winning artists in 2023 and 2024. 100% of the winners in 2024 were satisfied with the support and declared that it would develop their practice.
The significant and growing number of applications received, 278 in 2023 and 356 in 2024, demonstrates the importance of such an initiative and the growing expectations of artists in terms of environmental responsibility .
The Art Eco-Design Prize is part of a long-term action program by the Art of Change 21 association for an ecological transition of the cultural sector, including the creation of an online resource center accessible to all, regional support, the publication of a guide in partnership with ADEME and eco-designed artistic programs.
