What happens when you pair research scientists with Year 9 - 12 students, with the goal of inspiring new artworks that communicate scientific concepts and ideas? Head along to the CoLab exhibition to find out!

Through Beaker Street's CoLab initiative, students from New Norfolk High School, Hobart Big Picture School, and Hobart City High School work directly with early-career scientists over a period of a few months, including visiting their labs or field sites, and then create an artwork inspired by the scientific research.

As well as being an awesome educational experience, the project generates an innovative and engaging form of scientific outreach through the arts. To find out more about this great program, visit the CoLab project page. The exhibition will be open 6 - 31 August, during TMAG's regular opening hours (Tuesday - Sunday, 10am - 4pm), as well as during TMAG After Dark on the evenings of Friday 15th and Saturday 16th August.

This project is presented by Beaker Street, in partnership with Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. It is supported by the Fred P Archer Charitable Trust and the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Industry, Science and Resources.
