DEADLINE EXTENDED: 30 September 2023 at 23:59 EDT

Science Gallery Atlanta’s third and upcoming exhibition, THERMAL, will explore the collective role we play in impacting our evolving global and local climates and our responsibility in directing the future of the Earth’s tangible and intangible resources. THERMAL will also represent a call to action for each of us—to embrace individual habits and efforts that can change our communities and develop new approaches to how we can transform our global environment. Topics for development and partnership include (but are not limited to):

Climate Change / Sustainability / Environmental Studies / Material Sciences / Agriculture / Water Usage/ Public Health / Product Design / Bioethics / Pollution / City Planning / Energy Usage

In 2024, Science Gallery Atlanta will open the THERMAL exhibition season, with a 9000 square foot exhibition at the historic Pullman Rail Yards, accompanied by a suite of public programs -- all informed by a global community of creatives and thought leaders in collaboration with artists, researchers, and youth from the Atlanta region, plus area research universities and organizations, including Emory University.

For RESEARCHERS: Science Gallery Atlanta welcomes your research as a central component in how we develop our exhibitions. You DO NOT have to be an artist or have a pre-existing relationship with an artist—although it’s fine if you do! Through our exhibition design process, we foster collaborations between researchers and artists to develop projects. We welcome your ideas for projects, workshops, public talks, events, etc., and if selected, we’ll work with you to bring them to life.
