The Pioneer Awards highlight the transformative power of digital art in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through the collaboration between Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO) and our WEDO Entrepreneurial Arts Education Program, digital art serves as a medium for creativity, healing, and empowerment.
By providing a platform for young artists, we foster a sustainable future while inspiring dreams and personal growth.
One remarkable example comes from our partnership with underprivileged, disabled girl students from The Riverview School 277Q in Queens. These students create stunning digital artworks that celebrate the achievements of trailblazing women entrepreneurs. Their art pieces are transformed into the WEDO Pioneer Awards, unveiled annually at the United Nations, symbolizing resilience, creativity, and global leadership. This initiative aligns with:
Our favorite digital artists are the talented students from The Riverview School 277Q. Through their art, they honor trailblazing women entrepreneurs, the WEDO Pioneer Award Honorees and inspire healing and empowerment. These young changemakers demonstrate the transformative power of digital art in advancing the UN SDGs and creating a better world. The process of creating art provides these students with a therapeutic outlet to express emotions, build confidence, and nurture resilience—essential components of mental health and healing, directly supporting SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). This initiative not only heals through creativity but also inspires students to see their potential, connect with the legacies of remarkable women, and contribute to a global movement for empowerment. The transformative power of digital art highlights its ability to heal, uplift, and drive social change.
Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is every day! Celebrate, empower, and support women in business.
