Art.Science.Gallery. is an art gallery and science communication space featuring science related art in Austin, Texas. We are a local, woman-owned small business that collaborates with artists, scientists, and other galleries and museums to produce art exhibitions of science-related art. Our goal is to create and cultivate a community space where artists and scientists can forge new and collaborative relationships and where everyone can rediscover science through new lenses.

Our mission is to provide a friendly environment to make science more accessible to everyone through science-related visual arts exhibitions,

and programs to foster the careers of emerging and established artist-scientists and to provide professional development opportunities for scientists

to become more engaging public

communicators.

ART

BIOLOGY

Form follows function, or does function follow form? In the study of the human body, we find that form (anatomy) and function (physiology) inform each other so intimately that we cannot comprehend one without the other. This course will apply this integrated view to a tour of the body systems that delves beyond surface musculature to investigate the unifying concepts of body structures. Great for artists wanting to deepen their understanding of figure drawing and those wanting to learn more about the body!

policies

& FAQs

Registration & Cancellation Policy | Payment is required in full the day you register. Class registration closes 48 hours prior to the course start time. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class if it does not make a minimum number of registrants. We will notify you 24 hours in advance should we have to cancel a course and we will provide a full refund. We will refund your registration, less a 25% cancellation fee, up to 15 days prior to your class. Please note that cancellations made with less than 15 days notice are nonrefundable. In the event you can no longer attend your class, registration may be transferred to a friend or family member free of charge.

How do I register? | Course registration can be completed online at artsciencegallery.com/labs or by phone at (512) 522-8278. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

Can I pay weekly? | A weekly payment option is available for classes over $95, whereby your credit card will automatically be charged each week until the full amount is paid. Email [email protected] to register using this option.

What should I bring? | Each course has different supply needs. Prior to the course or workshop, attendees will be informed by email what supplies, if any, they should bring.

Who teaches your courses? | Because Art.Science.Gallery. is a multidisciplinary organization, our university-level instructors come from a variety of scholastic and professional backgrounds including arts, sciences, liberal arts, communications, and public affairs.

How does a class differ from a workshop? | Workshops typically have 2-6 hour meetings that highlight a specific subject, technique or skill area. Courses are longer, exploring a broader subject over several weeks, and meetings are generally taught at the freshman undergraduate level. Both workshops and classes can take place in the gallery or in the field if a field trip or fieldwork lends itself to the class learning objectives. Any field trips or alternative locations will be mentioned in the course description.

Is there an age requirement for your classes? | Because our courses are taught at the freshman undergraduate level, students must be 16 years of age or older to participate in our courses, except with written permission from the instructor.
