SciArt September
A whole month of artists posting their science art on social media!
Every day this month, a group of science artists are posting their work to social media with the hashtag #SciArtSeptember.
Hosted by Liz Butler and Glendon Mellow, artists are following a prompt where every day has a theme that can be very widely interpreted. For example, below are some examples of what artists have posted to Instagram following today’s theme “Starry”.
The list of upcoming themes for each day in September is available here:
Anyone can take part in this, and I don’t think you have to do it every day, so if a particular day’s theme inspires some science art (or is relevant to an existing thing you made), you can jump in on that day.
I’ve seen the hashtag in use on Instagram, but also on Mastodon, BlueSky (on the SciArt feed), and the cesspit formerly known as Twitter. I’ve only linked Instagram above because it plays nicely with Substack.
In the next Mixture on September 15 we’ll check in with some more #SciArtSeptember!
