What will a celebratory night of Art & Science look like?
Three headlining speakers, an audience-driven Q&A Session, and a live music performance to close down the show.
Faced with some of the greatest environmental challenges in human history – climate change and biodiversity loss – the voices bringing science into our living rooms are more important than ever.
The Adirondacks are home to a sometimes hidden community of artist/scientists. Leaders in climate research, wildlife ecology, and botany are moonlighting as artists, interpreting their data in artistic displays, working to connect the public to their work through non-traditional pathways, coping with the grief of their findings, or celebrating the hidden workings of the world around us in captivating songs, paintings, poetry, and works of art.
Simultaneously, artists are applying scientific methodologies to explore new creative methods to create their work. Photographers using technology to capture wavelengths invisible to the human eye; ceramicists applying chemical reactions to achieve their artistic vision; and dancers applying the principles of physics to defy gravity.
The line between art and science has always been blurred. Come celebrate how these two disciplines inform and shape one another, and feed your sense of wonder.
A special thanks to our incredible event sponsors who helped make this series possible, including Hotel Saranac, Trudeau Institute, Adirondack Health, and Northern Power and Light.
