ART MOVES PEOPLE.
It pushes back, lifts up, and brings us together. And, more than ever, we need that today.
This year our annual report comes as a sticker pack – made to spread hope and spark action.
We asked six incredible global artists to tackle six themes: Resistance, Resilience, Empowerment, Action, Hope, and Belonging. Each one created a unique sticker set.
It’s for street poles and bathroom stalls, phone cases and notebooks, and the back of your heart. To uplift others – or remind yourself to keep going.

We launched the Creative Activist Masterclass series
This one-of-a-kind program by Fine Acts brought together changemakers with some of the world’s leading minds in creative activism – offering transformative online sessions, an immersive in-person bootcamp, and tailored mentoring to supercharge bold, art-driven social change.
We wrapped up the pilot edition of the School for Strategic Creativity
Our bold new initiative equipped 20 civil society organizations from the Western Balkans with powerful tools in visual framing and creative campaigning to better champion democracy and human rights.
We launched Get Out & Vote
We brought together 27 brilliant illustrators, one from each EU member state, in a powerful campaign for democratic participation, with their artworks driving city-wide showcases, an AR exhibition, and a major online activation ahead of the European Parliament elections.
We wrapped up the latest edition of SPRINTS for Climate
Our creative bootcamps, developed in collaboration with TED, have grown to 22 worldwide – mobilizing hundreds of artists to envision a better future and spark change through creativity, hope, and collective effort.
SPRINTS fostered a sense of belonging and inspiration among artists, pop-up exhibitions amplified climate dialogue and action, and the free visual works created fuelled global movements.
We created another four powerful illustration collections
Our new free visual packs are on Climate & Migrant Justice, featuring global artists with migration experience; on Human Rights and the Rule of Law, engaging Bulgarian artists through open calls; and on Democracy, through a special edition of our SPRINTS format; as well as on Workers & housing rights – each blending bold creativity with civic purpose and fueling public discourse through open-licensed art.
We expanded Playtivism
We’ve grown our vision for building multidisciplinary spaces that foster play and experimentation in activism. Last year, we developed new formats and soft-launched playtivism.org – a dedicated website featuring tools and resources.
As part of one of our playtivist formats – Fine Acts Labs, our playground pairing artists and technologists – we launched It’s Fine, a hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking digital experience that imagines a world without humans.
We deepened our work in video as a powerful tool for social change
We kicked off daring new initiatives like Kindness as a Common Ground, Visions for Change, and Artists for Human Rights and the Rule of Law, supporting emerging and established filmmakers to craft compelling short films on climate justice, democracy, and human rights, with productions rolling out in 2025 to spark dialogue and inspire action.
TheGreats.co continued its rise
It’s now the world’s largest platform for open-licensed, socially engaged visual content – home to thousands of stunning artworks by visionary artists worldwide, fueling movements, inspiring action, and empowering millions of activists, nonprofits, and changemakers to drive impact through the power of free, adaptable art.
Our work won 4 major awards this season
We earned accolades from The Lovie Awards and the Anthem Awards for TheGreats.co and our powerful collaboration with TED Countdown, Artists for Climate – highlighting the reach, relevance, and creative force behind our mission.
