STEAMed SPNHC: One Planet, Shared Futures

At SPNHC 2025, we plan to highlight the potential of the intersection of Art and Science (e. g. collections and collecting). We seek SPNHC Artists and artwork for STEAMed SPNHC. Chandra Earl and Deb Paul are proposing a suite of events including a Silent Art Auction, an Artist's Corner, and an Unconference session around this topic.

For the Silent Art Auction, SPNHC members and potentially local artists donate personal or collections-based art to be auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting the SPNHC Student Travel Fund. This initiative directly impacts inclusion and supports students and early-career professionals, while simultaneously celebrating and expanding the artistic creativity of our community. The auction will also serve as a platform to connect attendees with the arts while showcasing the diversity of contributions from SPNHC members. By encouraging participation from local artists, the auction has the potential to extend the conference’s reach and impact beyond its traditional audience, strengthening ties, visibility, relevance, and inclusion with the local community and across our own.

Tables will be provided in the Vendor area for the Art Auction and Artist's Corner. Details regarding the auction are to follow.
