These are the individuals redefining our relationship with art through bold uses of materials, unexpected technologies, boundary-pushing design, and transformative interventions in public space. They create placemaking experiences that open our eyes to environmental and social issues. Quietly and persistently, through the impact of their practice, they reframe what art can be. Now we want YOUR help in identifying them. Tell us about the Creative Revolutionaries who have influenced your work, sparked your imagination, or expanded your understanding of what’s possible. Please submit your nomination(s)—anyone working across the public art ecosystem—by **Monday, December 22nd**. CODAworx will tally the results, and in February we’ll feature **25 Creative Revolutionaries** on the CODAworx website, just in time to ignite inspiration for the year ahead. [Submit Your Nominations](https://codaworx1.typeform.com/to/RxuVbJcZ)   Apathy is the real enemy. It’s not that people don’t care about the health of our planet or the state of our democracy—it’s that apathy convinces them their actions don’t matter. Our community, yours and mine, knows better. We fight apathy through awareness, emotion, and connection. And the creative professionals who make those sparks fly are the warriors of the creative revolution. More and more, CODAworx members are fearlessly engaging with the hardest issues of our time—social, political, and environmental. Artists and commissioners alike are asking provocative questions, offering moments of joy in places that need it most, pioneering technologies, and inventing new materials to sharpen the tools of artistic expression. In this article, we spotlight a few of our 2025 Creative Revolutionaries as we launch this **Call for Nominations for the 2026 honorees**, to be announced in February 2026. May these brave, imaginative trailblazers inspire all of us to suit up for the year ahead. --- **William Dodge**, Co-founder of A Gang of Three, confronts systemic injustice through art that refuses to look away—transforming public space into a platform for truth-telling. His project *Construction “Documents” (LARGE / small)* exposes the architecture of racism with bold clarity, using design as a tool for cultural accountability and social change.   ![Construction “Documents” (LARGE small) - DOCUMENTING RACISM Uploaded by A Gang of Three](https://5964602.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5964602/hubfs/Construction%20%E2%80%9CDocuments%E2%80%9D%20(LARGE%20%20small)%20-%20DOCUMENTING%20RACISM%20Uploaded%20by%20A%20Gang%20of%20Three.webp?width=1200&length=1200&name=Construction%20%E2%80%9CDocuments%E2%80%9D%20(LARGE%20%20small)%20-%20DOCUMENTING%20RACISM%20Uploaded%20by%20A%20Gang%20of%20Three.webp) --- **Paula Hart**, Australian artist, reimagines the most rigid materials of the built environment, turning steel fencing into lace-like gestures of warmth and welcome.
