Art of Creation

September 14 - December 3, 2023

Free Admission

How can scientific research successfully reach those who will benefit the most?

Welcome to the Art of Creation Project, where art meets science.

The Art of Creation is the result of a unique partnership between McMaster University’s Sloboda Lab and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, supported by collaborators from Australia, England, Denmark, Fredericton, New Brunswick, and an amazing team of artists and scientists from Hamilton.  Together we developed an arts-based, knowledge-translation program and exhibition to explain the importance of health before and during pregnancy, to the public.  The project consists of arts-based focus groups with pregnant women, art education, a community mural, and a traveling exhibition that starts at the AGH.

The Art of Creation exhibition features seven local artists who were invited to the Sloboda Lab to explore, experience, and observe scientists leading research on what is known as Early Origins Science. Through rap poetry, dance, sculpture, painting, video, and photography, they’ve created incredibly thoughtful and perceptive responses.

The Art Gallery of Hamilton is the first stop on the Art of Creation’s journey, before making stops at libraries and community centres throughout the city and ending at the McMaster Museum of Art in January 2025.
