COAL Prize Catalogues
Published on 27 September 2012
The COAL Art and Environment Prize is awarded each year to a contemporary artist involved in environmental issues. The winner is chosen from among ten nominees, selected through an international call for projects, by a jury of personalities from the world of contemporary art, research, ecology and sustainable development. Its objective is to encourage artists to take hold of the major contemporary societal and environmental issues and to participate in the emergence of a new culture of nature and ecology. The COAL Art and Environment Award is now an international event that attracts many renowned artists and pioneers of art related to ecology. This success testifies to the creative potential of the plastic arts on this theme through the great wealth of approaches proposed.
Each year, a theme is honored. In four editions, the call for projects of the COAL Prize has received nearly a thousand applications from more than 50 countries.
Created in 2010 by the association COAL, the COAL Art and Environment Prize, worth 10 000 euros, is placed under the high patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy and the National Center of Plastic Arts. It also benefits from the support of private partners, notably the Yves Rocher Foundation and the Egis Group.
