An international competition for design that soothes and repairs — for the body, the mind, the community and the places we share.
2026 Poster — The Art of Healing
In a restless world, art slows the breath. The Art of Healing asks designers to make work that soothes and repairs — for the body, the mind, the community and the places we share.
From visual identity and illustration to space, product and motion, every entry should hold one question: how can design help someone feel a little more whole?
