The art of hoping
What does hope look or feel like to you?
This is a call for artists from all around the globe!
We are looking for art that responds to the theme of hope.
Think about art that imagines how the systems we live in could change for a fairer, more regenerative future. Work that portrays what hope means to you, what makes you feel hopeful…
Art that can inspire hope in return, helping individuals, institutions and communities cultivate the imagination, capability and collective agency needed for regenerative and hopeful futures.
We welcome everything from quiet, personal expressions of hope to bold visions of systemic change.
Selected pieces will be shared in an online exhibition and a curated selection will be displayed at the in-person Club of Rome conference “No Limits to Hope: Sense-making for alternative futures.”
Submission deadline: 30 September 2026

We are accepting the following formats of art:
- Pictures and photographs
