Art & Science Exchange
Promoting the power and interplay between art & science
The arts and sciences share a rich, multidimensional relationship defined by reciprocal exchange and mutual inspiration. More than just a meeting of creativity, this connection is driven by deep curiosity and a spirit of discovery. Both domains embrace experimentation as a pathway to understanding the world in new and meaningful ways.
Explore Topics
Explore a growing ecosystem of opportunities within the ASE to support interdisciplinary collaboration, creative inquiry and public engagement. From faculty-led research initiatives to student-driven experiments, the ASE supports bold ideas that blur disciplinary boundaries and imagine new possibilities for learning and discovery.
Opportunities
ASE offers funding, mentorship and a collaborative platform for visionary research, creative experimentation and public-facing work. Opportunities include Innovation Awards, FUSION mini-grants, applied learning experiences for students and interdisciplinary residencies — all designed to nurture bold ideas, build community partnerships and expand the impact of academic inquiry across fields.
Projects
Projects supported by the ASE span documentary film, digital design, live performance, environmental storytelling and community-based research. These bold, interdisciplinary works bring together students, faculty and partners to address pressing social questions, amplify diverse voices and reimagine what knowledge production can look like in public life.
Upcoming Events
Each year the Art & Science Exchange culminates in a week-long showcase of selected projects. Along the way we host workshops, talks and other events to build a legacy of humanistic exploration and conversation. Join us!
