Upcoming Events
Special Events
TRIP Student Art Showcase
This year’s Translational Research Immersion Program (TRIP) cohort and current artist-in-residence, Cory Kram, will explore how art can foster deeper connections between researchers and the community. Students will share how they have translated their scientific work into tangible, visual forms, making complex ideas more accessible and engaging for lay audiences. Free and open to the public. Register to attend either virtually or in person.
Screenings
Screening: “Those Who Wait”
In conjunction with “A World in the Making: The Shakers,” the Institute for Contemporary Art will host a screening of the 2023 film “Those Who Wait,” a retelling of the Millerite doomsday movement that swept across America in the 1840s. Following the screening, there will be a short Q&A with the filmmakers, Chani Bockwinkel and Ty Burdenski. Free and open to the public. Register to attend.
Special Events
2026 Freedom Now Fest
