Science in Art is a juried exhibition highlighting the visual work of scientists from the U of Chicago, Argonne and Fermi Labs, and work by Chicago artists whose subject is science. The exhibition was developed to help educate and engage the public in the processes, challenges, and benefits of science and technology, and as a vehicle for connecting scientists and non-scientists.
