Artit is a platform founded upon the belief that art is a powerful tool that facilitates self-expression and triggers change. Our mission is to discover and reward contemporary visual artists who strive to create a better version of the world we live in. We see art as a means to raise awareness around matters that impact our lives as individuals and as a collective. We empower the voices of artists and organisations that strive for a bright future for the world, particularly those that address issues of ecology, society and politics through art. In this context, a significant part of our work are our collaborative European partnerships exploring the intersection of arts and society in practice.
