Upcoming Web Conference
The next GIA Web Conference will take place Tuesday, July 14. Beyond the Project: Supporting Artists from the Ground Up, presented by Ben Cameron of The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and Kristen Madsen from Creative Sonoma, will explore how funders can expand their funding guidelines to help artists survive unexpected challenges and have the capital to take risks in their creative processes.

These online events are free to GIA members. Register to attend.
The Art - Science Connection
Better Together: From the Desk of Janet Brown

Last month, I was fortunate to be invited to a small gathering of scientists and artists at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Undaunted by the academic title of the convening, “Examining Complex Ecological Dynamics through Arts, Humanities and Science Integration,” I attended with a colleague and GIA member, Bill O’Brien, senior innovation advisor to the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Bill and I joined artists and scientists who are primarily working at scientific field stations focused on environmental data collection and research.
