Our Mission

Art isn’t just a way of expressing a thought. It's your story.

From the different colors you chose to the way you painted across your canvas, your art speaks more words than you ever could.

“Art is a way to express and connect, whereas biology involves a scientific approach along with collaboration. Both of these worlds engrave creativity and consistency, which together create something ethereal. TheArtGene is a forum for other artists and scientists to connect, learn and share new perspectives and grow the bioartist within them. There are many different ways to combine art and biology, and TheArtGene is a great place to learn about it. Both these fields require similar skills and bioart can be exciting for biology-art enthusiasts. Implementing analysis skills from biology into art and equipping yourself with a broad imagination while performing experiments can change the way you look at both art and science.”

Our Vision

“With the fusion of Biology and Art, new methodologies and approaches towards science are a potential possibility. It can also open up a new path to people who are torn between choosing one of the two. TheArtGene provides a platform for like-minded individuals to come together and share their ideas and perspectives through their artistic or scientific lens.”
