As part of its mission to bring science to people and people to science, the RiAus recognises and embraces the synergies between science and the arts and creative industries.
Neither a traditional science organisation nor an arts venue, the RiAus is a place where the boundaries between science and the arts shift and dissolve to reveal the new and unexpected.
With its in-house gallery space and state-of-the art auditorium, the Science Exchange is the ideal venue in which to bring together artists and scientists to share their creativity and fascination with interpreting the world and our place in it.
Our Future Space Gallery will program and showcase some of the best visual and multimedia art that Australia – indeed the world – has to offer. With a focus on those artists and scientists engaged in genuinely collaborative processes, the RiAus will work with talented curators (both established and emerging). We will create real and virtual spaces that take science to new audiences and provide new contexts through which the public can explore science and its impacts on society.
Our public science programs link with all branches of the arts – from visual art, to literature, music, cinema, theatre and dance – aiming to take science into non-science contexts and to highlight the similarities between these areas.
