Shimmer: Vibrant Art/Science of New Mexico

SciArt Santa Fe invites New Mexico artists working at the intersection of art and science to submit artworks and research-based investigation with a high level of aesthetic quality from a diverse range of perspectives and media, including visual art, sculpture, sound, robotics, bio art, short films, documentaries, and other media and performance for Shimmer, a group exhibition at the St. John's College Art Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico (March 28 - May 9, 2026).

Shimmer explores the iridescence of aliveness and the visceral awareness of interconnection between species, between human and biosphere, between observer and observed. SciArt Santa Fe, founded in 2019, fosters artists across disciplines that reflect the cultural diversity of New Mexico and supports research addressing issues that disproportionately affect people of under-represented races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, national origins, citizenship statuses, and ages, including climate change, species extinction, and migration.

Eligibility: Applicants must be 18 years or older and based in New Mexico. Entry fee is $15.00. Applicants may submit up to 2 applications. Work samples must include 5-10 images, 0-1 audio files, and 0-3 videos (5-10 total media files).
