San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art Talking Art: Art + Science Social Hour
Jan 13
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art
560 South 1st Street, San Jose CA 95113


Join us for an afternoon of drop in activities for all ages, kombucha beer tasting, and conversations with artists and scientists that will interest the left and right-brained alike! Art + Science Social Hour will celebrate the ways in which the worlds of science and art intertwine.

Two of the ICA’s winter exhibitions explore the confluence of art and science: an immersive installation inspired by marine microbiology in Tracey Adams and Virginia Folkestad’s Primordial Soup and sculptural representations of neural networks in Lorrie Fredette’s installation tender exchanges.
