Open call: THERMAL

Science Gallery Atlanta’s upcoming exhibition, THERMAL, will explore the collective role we play in impacting our evolving global and local climates and our responsibility in directing the future of the Earth’s tangible and intangible resources. THERMAL will also represent a call to action for each of us – to embrace individual habits and efforts that can change our communities and develop new approaches to how we can transform our global environment. THERMAL 

In 2024, Science Gallery Atlanta will open the THERMAL exhibition season with a 9,000-square-foot exhibition at the historic Pullman Rail Yards, accompanied by a series of public programs – all informed by a global community of creatives and thought leaders in collaboration with artists, researchers, and youth from the Atlanta region, as well as area research universities and organizations, including Emory University.

Science Gallery Atlanta calls for ideas and projects from researchers and artists. Topics for development and partnership include (but are not limited to):

• Climate change • Sustainability • Environmental studies • Material sciences • Agriculture • Water usage • Public Health • Product design • Bioethics • Pollution • City planning • Energy usage

For researchers: Science Gallery Atlanta welcomes your research as a central component in how we develop our exhibitions. You do not have to be an artist or have a pre-existing relationship with an artist – although it’s great if you do! Through our exhibition design process, we foster collaborations between researchers and artists to develop projects. We welcome your ideas for projects, workshops, public talks, events, etc. If selected, we’ll work with you to bring them to life.
