Prix COAL 2017 - Call for entries


------------------------------------------------------------------------

In seven years, the COAL Prize became an international meeting place for 
artists who take up the main universal issue of our time : ecology.

The global ecological crisis now affects all societies, territories and 
activities, whether by climate change, depletion of resources, various 
forms of pollution or loss of biodiversity. A global crisis that 
criss-cross its economic and social consequences. But this crisis is 
also a cultural one. The dominant values and representations, our 
globalized culture, determine our individual and collective behaviours, 
and ultimately our collective impacts on Planet Earth. Therefore, the 
solutions to this crisis can not only be political and technical. 
Culture can be a major player. This is what COAL has been promoting 
since its founding in 2008.

The COAL Prize is open to artists from all over the world who deploy 
their creativity to devise and experiment with solutions and bear 
witness to the transformation of territories, lifestyles, organizations, 
and means of production, while making a contribution to the process 
themselves. Together they are participating in building a new collective 
narrative, a new world of imagination, an evolving shared heritage, a 
positive framework that is optimistic and essential for everyone to find 
the motivation to implement the necessary changes towards a more 
sustainable world.

The COAL Prize, created in 2010 by the COAL Art and Ecology non profit 
organisation, has become a vehicle of identification, promotion and 
diffusion of these artists, to the general public, professionals of 
culture and ecology and political figures. Every year the COAL Prize 
highlights ten projects by artists working on environmental issues in 
the field of visual arts. They are selected through an international 
call for projects. One of them is awarded the COAL Prize by a jury of 
personalities from the domains of art and ecology. In addition, all the 
applications considered by COAL and the selection committee make it 
possible to make known artists and projects that can be solicited or 
promoted according to the other opportunities and actions carried out by 
the association.

DOTATION

(Ardennes – France) by the François Sommer Foundation.

Real observatory of rural and wild life, every year the Domaine de 
Belval welcomes artists chosen for their interest and their contribution 
to renewing the vision of the relationship between man and nature.

The François Sommer Foundation has been recognized as a public utility 
since 30th November 1996, the date of its creation by François and 
Jacqueline Sommer, pionneers of the implementation of humanist ecology. 
This foundation, which is true to the commitments of its founders, works 
for the protection of biodiversity, in which Mankind finds its place, 
for the respectful use of natural resources, for rational hunting, and 
sharing the wealth of natural, cultural and artistic heritage. The 
Foundation also owns the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, which 
has been open to the public since February 1967 and is listed as a 
''Museum of France''.
