An exhibition featuring science-based, science-generated and science-inspired artworks made by the Princeton community

The 2023-24 Art of Science exhibition features still images, videos and animations from 50 creators—including students, alumni, staff, researchers and faculty from across the Princeton University community.

Art of Science 2023 opened at Princeton’s Friend Center for Engineering Education on May 2, 2023. Over 200 people turned out for the opening reception! If you missed the opening, or would like to revisit these stunning artworks, the exhibition will remain open until spring 2025.
