ART MEETS SCIENCE

Art Meets Science

Cultivate and Maryland Sea Grant Collaboration

Art is a method for people to connect, reflect, and understand scientific concepts in diverse ways beyond traditional scientific outreach. Maryland Sea Grant initiated a pilot project to collaborate with Cultivate to develop resources (i.e., webinars, collaboration profiles, online resources) for the scientific community on best practices for artist collaboration as well as creating a networking and training event to incubate new project proposals for external funding.

The project goal is to forge connections between artists and scientists and best practices particularly in response to these questions: How to use art as a medium of outreach?; How to bring Sea Grant work to a larger audience?; How to partner and communicate with an artist or scientist and why?; What strategies make for successful collaborations?; How to create a local network/databank for collaborations?

The exhibition features individual and collaborative artwork from a selection of Cultivate artists including:

Maggie Gourlay, Katie Kehoe, Susan Main, Murat Cem Mengüç, MJ Neuberger, Elzibieta Sikorska, Lynn Silverman, and Sue Wrbican.
