Whether through paint brushes or petri dishes, the creativity, conceptualization, and discovery inherent to both art and science place them surprisingly close on the continuum of efforts to make sense of our world. The art and science connection at the Broad Institute is a unique program rooted in our commitment to collaboration and community. Through gallery exhibitions, our artist-in-residence program, and ongoing public conversations, leading scientists and forward-thinking artists work, communicate, and learn together to benefit both science and art, spurring the creative thinking that drives innovation.
