ARTWORK

CALL FOR ARTWORK COMING SOON

 

As in previous years, the Bay-Delta Science conference will feature

artwork relating to the estuary and/or the conference theme.

Artists of all forms and media, including but not limited to

painting, photography, sculpture, digital, music, and performance

are encouraged to apply. Art will be displayed throughout the

conference in the poster exhibit hall and other areas of the venue

where feasible. 

 

In addition to our general call for art submissions, we are

particularly interested in featuring original works created through

collaborations between artists and scientists. Art-science collaborations deepen and enrich artistic work while creating new possibilities for communicating scientific research to broader audiences. Ifyou are interested in collaborating on this type of project but unsure where to start, please reach out to us at bdsc@deltacouncil.ca.gov. While we are not specifically coordinating these partnerships, we are happy to help connect you to others working in this area if we can.  
 
To contribute artwork for display and/or presentation at the conference, please submit a 300-word or less description of your project, the name(s) of the project contributor(s), the project’s connection to science and/or management of the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary, and (preferred but not required) its connection to the conference theme. Submissions are to be made through the abstract submission website. Projects showcasing diverse viewpoints, unique art-science collaborations, and underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged. The deadline for art submissions is July 15, 2026.
