The Art+Science Salon is a podcast, event series, and network of creatives working at the crossroads of art, science, and technology. Each episode features conversations with people at the forefront of culture, those shaping critical conversations on the future of art, science, and society. Catch your hosts, researchers Dr. Amelia McConville and Dr. Autumn Brown at festivals, laboratories, raves, conferences and more, welcoming guests into the salon for unforgettable conversations.

One episode to be recorded, produced, and released per month from April through December. Each episode will be released the last week of each month supported by CFA. Beyond these 9 podcasts, we will host three live podcast recording events: One at Creative Brain Week at Trinity College Dublin this March, followed by an event at the Kersnikova Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia in June, and another during the Beta Festival this November in Dublin.

This project has been supported with Public Engagement Funds from the Creative Futures Academy (CFA) – a groundbreaking partnership between three leading creative institutions – the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), University College Dublin (UCD), and the Institute of Art Design + Technology (IADT).
