Come. Converse. Collaborate.

Artists and scientists tend to live and work in very different worlds. In major cities across three continents the question is being asked: “Is there something to be gained in our understanding of humankind by encouraging scientists and artists to share their ideas?”

This series of salons brings guest artists, Puget Sound faculty members, and others together on the free Third Thursday of each month at Tacoma Art Museum or on campus. Events typically run from 6 to 8 p.m., with food, mingling, conversation, and more.

6:00 p.m.      Food, drinks, and mingling
6:30 p.m.      Presentation and Q&A
7:30 p.m.      More mingling

Speakers:
