The mission of Artful Science is to make the sciences, technology, engineering and math (STEM) more relevant, exciting, accessible and entertaining through the prism of an artist. In essence, we put the arts into STEM creating STEAM to empower our society. The intellectual understanding of the world around us through the systematic study of the structure and behaviors of our physical and natural surroundings is critical to our ability to not only thrive but sometimes simply survive as the human species. However, this knowledge alone is useless to us as a society unless we are able to implement practices that incorporate these conclusions into our daily activities as individuals and policies that we implement as communities. Unfortunately, the culture and language that often surrounds scientific study creates barriers to interest and understanding amongst the wider population to enable the benefit of this study to fully permeate our society. Artful Science strives to serve as an interpretive forum in this process by delving into these critical issues through the prism of an artists perspective providing an engaging forum through which a broad audience has the opportunity to understand and benefit from these systematic processes of study.
