Evolutionary ecology course for artists
10 daily webinars from July 14 - 25, 2025

Species is an online course for artists to learn about evolutionary ecology that features lectures form researchers around the world. It will take place over 2 weeks on-line in the summer of 2025. The program will offer daily video chats with evolutionary biologists, naturalists and artists on topics that focus on the development of life on earth and the connections between living organisms. The program will also facilitate many short one-on-one meetings with artists who make art related to wildlife. Built in to the 2 - 2.5 hours of daily programming are discussions, recommended assignments and show and tell.

Biophilium residencies are designed to facilitate research that will enrich conceptual artists' practice within a group of like minded creative people. Visual artists, writers, musicians, film makers and dancers are encouraged to apply. The jury will select seven international artists based on their portfolio rather than how they fit into any description of an artist.
