Call out for workshop artists

The Great Exhibition Road Festival are looking for artists, art educators, and arts and craft workshop developers to declare an interest in working with scientists from Imperial College London to create public artworks and run art-science workshops inspired by science. The results of these collaborations will feature at future Great Exhibition Road Festivals, an annual art-science festival which will run across a weekend each summer.

To put yourself forward, please download the further details on our Festival and these art-science commissions in the document below, and then send an email introducing yourself and listing any relevant experience to festival@imperial.ac.uk.

"With all the families having fun and feeling welcomed in the university space, as a scientist I rarely think about the impact science has in society. I could observe that this weekend." - Imperial researcher

"The presenters were just brilliant - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made every one of every age very welcome." - Festival attendee

"I am more comfortable with speaking to the public about the research we carry out and have become quite good at explaining it in simple terms. It also helped me re-discover how much I like science!” - Imperial researcher
