"Science, Art, and Business: Intersections of Environmental Activism" celebrates intersections among science, business, and art that promote environmental preservation and sustainability. The art exhibition in Reed Library (April 12-26) will feature works created by activist artists (Fredonia alumni and current students) and works resulting from collaborations between scientists and artists.
Use this form to register to attend the reception (beginning at 3:30pm in the Science Center Atrium) and panel discussion on Friday, April 19 at 4pm in Room 105 of the Science Center.
Panelists include
- SUNY Fredonia alumni and artist activists (Joseph Grice, Erin Ruffino, and Katelyn Davis),
- Charles Ruffino (educator, co-director of Great Lake FX, Fredonia alum),
- Arthur Pearson (CEO, Roger Tory Peterson Institute),
- Maria Ferguson (Curator, Roger Tory Peterson Institute), and
- Courtney Wigdahl-Perry and Timothy Frerichs (partners in the “Waterways” project supported by a NYSCA grant).
During the panel discussion, we will learn about the ways in which the panelists (scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs) collaborate to confront unsustainable practices, catalyze change, and shape responses and motivations of an informed citizenry.
