“Science & Art” Juried Show, September 5 – October 1
Opening Artists Reception
Awards Ceremony
Saturday, September 7th, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

Science and Art are two aspects of human cultural activity and experience. We find aesthetic inspiration from structures found in nature, and works of art can provide novel insights to scientists. Only our age of extreme division of labor brought about a separation between science and art.

Images must be in jpg format (max. 10mb 4000 pixels longest side) & include title_dimensions.

Submit: A writing piece describing how art connects to science in your artwork. (appx. 50 words). A short one sentence description of each piece.
