MUSEUM DE LAKENHAL
SYMPOSIUM ON EXPLORING THE ART-SCIENCE DIALOGUE
Welcome to the symposium "Beyond the Canvas: Exploring Art-Science Collaborations".
The third edition of Beyond the Canvas will be held on September 17th 2025 at the Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden.
This event is specially designed for artists and scientists who are eager to delve into the dynamic intersection of art and science. In recent years, the fusion of art and science has given rise to awe-inspiring creations, blurring the boundaries between disciplines and sparking new avenues for creative exploration.
This year, the symposium will focus on the development of art-science hubs — dedicated spaces and networks that foster ongoing collaboration between artists and scientists. Speakers with extensive experience in building and sustaining such hubs will share best practices, offer practical guidance, and inspire new initiatives aimed at strengthening the art-science ecosystem.
The symposium aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of art-science collaborations from multiple perspectives. The symposium will feature distinguished speakers representing academic institutions and practicing artists, offering their unique viewpoints and experiences in this ever-evolving field. "Beyond the Canvas" hopes to provide a platform for stimulating discussions, fostering connections, and igniting new ideas among artists and scientists who are eager to embrace the possibilities of art-science collaborations.
