Do you make art about science, climate, or the environment? Do you have science stories to share?

Submit your artwork to be showcased in a night of science art and story.

The Center for Ecosystem Science and Society and Native American Cultural Center at NAU are proud to host a community exhibition celebrating science-inspired art.

About the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society

In collaboration with the McAllister Program on Community, Culture, and the Environment at Northern Arizona University, the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society is working to build community and start new kinds of conversations about climate and science communication on the Colorado Plateau. We hope that by integrating science and art, featuring artwork that both inspires and is inspired by ecology and the environment, we can build on a dynamic conversation many of our communities are having about how to do, think about, and share our science in ways that better acknowledge the land we work on, and what it means for people.
