About Science Gallery Atlanta
In January 2020, Emory University became the 8th Science Gallery Network (SGN) member, forming Science Gallery Atlanta (SGA) at Emory University. The SGN consists of leading universities across the world united around a singular mission: to ignite creativity and discovery where science and art collide. SGA is currently the only international network member in the United States and is located in the greater Metro Atlanta region (Metro ATL).
SGA’s mission and purpose are to create multi-dimensional experiences that foster a dynamic new model for community engagement focused on imagination, innovation, and participatory science.
SGA operates as a component of Emory University's Office of the Senior Vice President for Research (SVPR), reporting to the Senior Vice President for Research, Dr. Deborah Bruner, and is a collaborative member of the international SGN. SVPR is dedicated to advancing Emory's vision for innovation, transformative research, and positive change across various fields, encompassing the full spectrum from fundamental and applied sciences to the arts and humanities.
These are a few examples of Emory faculty who have contributed to past exhibitions. From left to right: Kathryn Garber (JUSTICE 2023), Eri Saikawa (JUSTICE 2023), Sam Sober (HOOKED 2022), Mara Schenker (HOOKED 2023), Emily Allen (JUSTICE 2023), and Sarah Febres-Cordero (HOOKED 2023).
““I am delighted that Science Gallery Atlanta will be open to our community. This dynamic space for and by young people focused on science has never been more relevant.””
