Framing the Frontier

Framing the Frontier workshops/residency series bring those at the frontiers of science and art together over our country table. Community/school workshops addressing issues of local interest: - five scientists present their work; - facilitated discussion; - community lunch; -five artists provide artistic response, hands-on art/science activities. Ongoing collaboration: - online network "Find a Collaborator". Collaborative residency: local community hosts artist/scientist pairs over three weekends to develop a project with local connection, run school sessions "the art in science, the science in art" and engage residents/businesses over community lunch. Framing the Frontier works/student projects exhibited at the 2019 Castlemaine State Festival.
