Innovation Project Title: Curator of Art-Science

Dior Kelly is combining artwork and creativity with students to showcase what science is happening within CALS. Her goal is to create science inspired artwork for display in the CALS classrooms in the Student Innovation Center. In doing so, she will offer suggestions for the art-scientists to attend weekly scientific seminars and to read recent publications from CALS scientists. These activities will increase the students' awareness of science and technology within CALS, promote exchange of ideas among the cohort, and provide inspiration for art-science projects. 

A perfect way to get involved is through the Crosspollinating Art & Science Competition. Deadline to sign up is November 20, 2024. Click here to sign up!

"The intersection between art and science is evident in our everyday lives. In CALS, our students are creating art inspired by science. My project will focus on making these art-science connections more visible to inspire our community." - Dior Kelley
