In conjunction with the launch of its new Gracilaria snack, the innovative startup KelpEat teams up with One Ocean Foundation to present Ocean RegenerArt, an open call that combines art, science, and nutrition in service of ocean health.
The initiative invites artists, collectives, and creatives from around the world to design an original artwork for the upcoming Special Edition of the snack, symbolically representing the deep connection between seaweed innovation and ocean conservation. Submissions should celebrate red seaweed – particularly Gracilaria hayi (also known as Irish moss or ogonori) – as a symbol of regeneration, marine health, and a sustainable future.
What selected artists will receive:
- Visibility through social media and retail channels of One Ocean Foundation and KelpEat
- Networking opportunities in curated events and stores
- International visibility within the context of the blue economy
- Networking opportunities with scientists, entrepreneurs, and fellow artists
- Invitation to the official product launch, scheduled for the end of the year
