Anthropologie Unveils 2025 YoungArts Award Winners

Anthropologie, the renowned global lifestyle brand, has officially announced the recipients of the 2025 YoungArts x Anthropologie 'Leading with Creativity' Awards. Now in their third year, these awards serve as a platform for exceptional young talents across diverse artistic fields, reinforcing Anthropologie's commitment to fostering arts education and supporting the next generation of artists.

Kate Haldy, Head of PR, Communications, and Impact at Anthropologie Group, expressed the brand's dedication to creativity, stating, "Creatives are at the core of everything we do at Anthropologie. Our partnership with YoungArts provides talented young artists the opportunity to share their work and nurture their careers. We take immense pride in celebrating this year's winners and contributing to their creative journeys."

Building upon the success of the previous year's YoungArts Marketplace, selected artists collaborated closely with Anthropologie’s Home leadership to guide this year’s focus. The result is a curated collection of gallery wall art designed to amplify emerging voices and bring meaningful artistic expressions into homes across America.

In 2025, Anthropologie has chosen five extraordinary artists for the YoungArts x Anthropologie 'Leading with Creativity' Award:

• - Raima Chowdhury: A Bengali fine artist situated in Jackson Heights, New York, specializes in oil painting and draws inspiration from the naturalism and realism of post-Romanesque European art traditions.
• - Sahara Clemons: This multimedia artist and designer from New York City embodies fluidity in her creative process, seamlessly blending mediums such as painting, textiles, and dance.
• - Mark Fleuridor: A visual artist hailing from Brooklyn, Mark's work encompasses storytelling through techniques such as painting, quilting, collage, and pattern making, focusing on his personal memories and family narratives.
• - Sonia Romero: Based in Los Angeles, Sonia straddles the line between fine art and public art, engaging deeply with her community's cultural and social dynamics.
• - Jordan Tiberio: A photo-based artist residing in Brooklyn, Jordan brings everyday objects and landscapes to life through her lens, finding beauty in the mundane.

As part of this initiative, Anthropologie will showcase and make available for purchase 15 exclusive art prints—three from each of the selected artists—within a specially curated Gallery Wall Art collection on their website, Anthropologie.com. Moreover, each artist will receive a $10,000 unrestricted grant to further support their creative endeavors, underlining the brand’s investment in nurturing the next wave of artistic talent.

"Together, YoungArts and Anthropologie are empowering artists to transcend boundaries, broaden their audiences, and equip themselves with the tools to flourish on their own terms," stated YoungArts President and CEO Clive Chang. Through the 'Leading with Creativity' awards, YoungArts reaffirms its dedication to cultivating artists' potential at all stages of their artistic careers.

To celebrate the achievements of the award recipients, Anthropologie and YoungArts will co-host a gallery event in New York City this fall, where the artists' works will be showcased and honored.
