Art + Science

Art-science interactions are a core approach at INSTAAR for engaging the public in our science, carrying the potential to bring our science to new audiences; pursue storytelling approaches to science; and change the way people think and act about climate change, the environment, and ecosystems. Professional artists number among INSTAAR's Affiliates, and several INSTAAR researchers are artists as well as scientists. Partnerships with campus groups like the Office for Outreach and Engagement, NEST Studio for the Arts, and Inside the Greenhouse have facilitated student and faculty engagement in art + science practice.

SEEC gallery

SEEC features gallery spaces in the hallway from the south Atrium to the courtyard between SEEC and SEEL, and in the Albert A. Bartlett Science Communication Center (C215). These spaces host rotating exhibits of art by partners, CU members, artists, and community programs that touch on themes of sustainability, climate, or environment.

The gallery spaces feature STAS hanging systems and are governed by guidelines to protect the building and its residents.

Joe programs these galleries, so contact him to find out more about the spaces, if you have an exhibit to suggest, or just want to know what’s on deck.
