As part of the Ultimo Science Festival 2011, the Powerhouse Museum presents a special event for two groups we feel would benefit from getting together: scientists and artists. Join us for drinks at an informal get together where you’ll meet people from varied fields, explore new ideas and the synergies found at the intersection of art and science.

​

There will be showcase performances and discussions throughout the evening featuring scientists and artists whose creativity and imagination seeks to bridge the gap between disciplines. More details about these performances are below.

​

During the evening there will be two ‘speed meet’ junctures, where a few words and thoughts can be quickly shared with others, perhaps igniting the spark of new ideas and collaborations.

Canapés and drinks are included.
