Science2Art

Science2Art is a platform for regional scientists to display and describe their research through the visual arts. Each of these remarkable pieces tells a personal research story and poetically captures the fieldwork performed by the scientists and their teams.

All proceeds from the Science2Art auction will be donated to STEAM education in KC.
