SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Artists and researchers will come together Nov. 12 at ARx Live to unveil artwork inspired by science research, according to SMUD’s Museum of Science and Curiosity.

The event, which will be a presentation and public exhibition, will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity, 400 Jibboom St., Sacramento.

“We are proud to welcome ARx Live to MOSAC,” said Carlos Gonzalez-Jaime, executive director of the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity, in a statement. “This exciting collaboration reflects our commitment to STEAM education by bringing science, art, and innovation together in ways that inspire curiosity and connect people. By pairing this unique exhibition with MOSAC's hands-on, interactive experiences, we hope to make these ideas accessible to audiences of all ages and invite our communities to explore the fascinating intersection of art and science.”

The Nov. 12 event is the culmination of a nine-month partnership between artists and researchers resulting in visual, digital, literary, performative and mixed media art. Artwork will be on display at the Museum of Science and Curiosity until Dec. 15.

Nine artist-researcher teams took part in the program. They include Geoanna Bautista with the University of California at Davis School of Medicine and Jennifer Lugris, a Uruguayan Korean American painter based in Sacramento.

Leigh Ann Simmons at the University of California at Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing partnered with artist Jessica Wimbley, who is based in Sacramento.

Jennifer Rosenthal of the University of California at Davis School of Medicine worked with artist Jodi Connelly, whose work involves people and their natural environment.

Drew Cingel at the University of California at Davis and artist and photographer Melissa Uroff partnered.

Angie Louie in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California at Davis worked with artist Muzi Li Rowe, and Nicole Kravitz-Wirtz with the Centers for Violence Prevention at the University of California at Davis partnered with artist Ruby Chacon. Chacon is based in Sacramento and a high school educator.

Industrial biologist Dave Hogsett and Bay Area artist Sunroop Kaur worked together and artificial intelligence researcher Gabriel Simmons worked with visual artist Taner Ilhan Pasamehmetoglu.

Elizabeth Lopez, a wildlife biologist, partnered with community artist, organizer and educator Yared Portillo.

ARx Sacramento is modeled after a similar program at the Phoenix Bioscience Core in Arizona, which is starting its fifth year of partnerships.

“Nine months ago, we set out to show that Sacramento is a city where creativity and research thrive side-by-side - ARx Live is that vision realized,” said Megan Van Voorhis, interim Assistant City Manager, in a statement. “Watching these artist-researcher teams translate rigorous science into work the whole community can experience is exactly the kind of inclusive, innovative arts programming we set out to champion.”
