Artists Reception
Thursday, June 8
5:00 – 7:00 pm
Family Resource Center Santa Barbara Museum of Art

All are welcome! Artist's will share inspiration at 6:00pm. Refreshments and beverages provided.  

Art of Science will be on display at the SBMA from May 31-July 28, 2023.

Artists, some say, are more right-brained, prone to feeling and imagination. Scientists, meanwhile, are more left-brained, valuing order and logic. Leonardo da Vinci shattered that theory. The left and right sides of our brains co-exist in marvelous, synergistic ways. The pieces exhibited here are the 10 winners from the 8th annual Art of Science competition and 3 special winners from the Art of Quantum at the University of California Santa Barbara. They tell the stories of technical innovation, pure discovery, and inspired creativity that emerge when art and science unfold together.   

This exhibition features the winners of the annual Art of Science competition organized by UCSB’s Schuller Lab and Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships at the California NanoSystems Institute. The UCSB Library is proud to showcase these eye-opening and defining intersections of art and science.

We have teamed up with the newest museum in Santa Barbara to showcase the 10 winning Art of Science pieces!  Head into the heart of downtown Santa Barbara for a visit to the MOXI, where science and creativity come together for the young and old.  As you navigate and play your way through the 3 floors, keep your visual sensors alert for our 9 images and 1 video that shares the stories of technical innovation, pure discovery, and inspired creativity that emerge when art and science unfold together.
