CONVERGENCE: Art Meets Science
CONVERGENCE is a new initiative that explores how art and science shape perception. Through conversations, workshops, and events, Hurricane Island is engaging artists and scientists in dialogue about how each of these practices ask us to pay attention to the world around us.
Part of the initiative is an art event inviting 40 artists to make original works inspired by Hurricane Island. These works are available for purchase in an online auction which opens August 15th, and on display at Pascal Hall in Rockport 9/25,26,27 from 1-4 pm with a final show and benefit event on 9/28 at Pascal Hall from 5-8 pm.
