Art and science converge once more in a new Art of Science exhibit curated by the UC San Diego Library. The exhibit features nine winning images from the Library’s 2023 Art of Science contest and will be on view at two locations – the San Diego Natural History Museum (The Nat) and Sally T. WongAvery Library – through January 15, 2024. A digital exhibit has also been created to share the images more broadly and will remain online in perpetuity.
“Groundbreaking discoveries are being made everyday at UC San Diego. Through the Art of Science, we are able to take the university’s research off campus and into the community, making it more accessible to a larger audience,” said UC San Diego’s Audrey Geisel University Librarian Erik Mitchell. “We are grateful to The Nat for their partnership, one we hope will continue for many years to come.”
Now in its third year, the Library’s Art of Science contest celebrates the beauty that can emerge during scientific research at UC San Diego and beyond. This year, librarians and staff selected items from the Research Data Collections repository. From the selected images, winners were chosen by the campus and wider San Diego community via online voting.
