Exploring collaborations between artists and scientists through public Conversations and intimate Salons at the Chicago Cultural Center, beginning January, 2009.

Surprising things can happen when artists and scientists collaborate. As part of the year long Science Chicago celebration, The Chicago Cultural Center will host a series of talks between leading artists and scientists. Their discussions will reveal the depth of creativity found in science, and the surprising amount of technical expertise that informs our most creative cultural practices. Hear from pioneering visual artists, dancers, musicians and culinary artists, and the biologists, chemists, mathematicians and engineers who have partnered with them on unusual projects.
