SCI_ART 2026 convenes artists, scientists, and research institutions from Canada and the European Union for a transnational Artist in Residence program and festival taking place from September 22 to October 8, 2026 across Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and the Okanagan. At its core, SCI_ART is a science-based art initiative that positions artistic practice as a form of research capable of engaging environmental transformation through critical inquiry, experimentation, and public activation.
