Get ready to explore the inspiring work that occurs when art and science connect. In 2024, a traveling exhibition will highlight the works of many talented interns, artists, and scientists who have been working side by side to blend these two fields.
The upcoming exhibition will feature the works of six art-science interns and their mentors – six professional artists. Participants of the program have spent the last two summers in the field with scientists at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Lac du Flambeau Tribal Natural Resources, and UW-Madison Trout Lake Station where they were immersed in science and the creation of works of art based on their experiences. The exhibit will also feature contributions from artists associated with our ongoing artist in residencies that takes place during the chillier fall and winter seasons.
This exhibit will travel to several locations throughout Wisconsin during 2024 and hopes to inspire audiences with the unique insights that occur when art and science combine. Visitors will be able to tap their inner artist and explore their inner scientist while taking in the many works of art.
