Making Space Workshop on Space, SciArt, and Society in Tucson, AZ

May 1, 2022 | Outreach

TREX supported the first Making Space Workshop on Space, SciArt, and Society organized by PSI’s Jamie Molaro on April 15-17, 2022. Twenty-five people gathered in Tucson to interpret scientific themes, data, and images and transform them into art at the Catalyst Arts & Maker Space at the Tucson Mall. 

The event included talks by experts on recent discoveries in planetary science, discussion of how and why humans explore space, and art-making activities that explore how similar science and art truly are. Artists, educators, and scientists from across the country used a wide variety of materials, including paint, collages, clay, and even poetry and video to create science-related art.
