The Flow Project 2025: A Creative Collaboration
The Flow Project is underway for 2025. This initiative pairs artists and scientists who are interested in collaborating. This year, we are excited to support 35 artists. Each has matched to a water scientist or practitioner and will engage in a series of conversations that will inform the creation of a piece, project, or other contribution.
These creations will be unveiled at the 2025 Wisconsin Lakes & Rivers Convention in Stevens Point, WI. Additionally, the pieces will be on display during in Madison during Earth Week and at Water@UW-Madison’s Spring Symposium on May 5.
Don’t miss Episode 21 of the “Introduced” podcast by Wisconsin Sea Grant, titled “The beetle, the fabric, the seamstress”. This episode explores how art can help communicate invasive species science, featuring an artist’s journey to turn thrifted fabric into a larger-than-life biocontrol bug.
Stay tuned for more updates as these creative partnerships unfold and contribute to our understanding and appreciation of water through art.
