Art-Science: Don’t Miss These Opportunities
Art-Science is a an exciting and growing interdisciplinary field. On one hand, collaborations between artists and scientists lead to valuable insight and exchange of knowledge between both sectors. On the other, the role of artists in providing creative approaches to pressing issues of our time - such as climate change - is becoming increasingly emphasized. At ArtConnect, we believe that artists play a vital role in shaping our future. Therefore, we have gathered this list of outstanding opportunities for art-science projects.
