<p>Greetings Everyone and Happy New Year 2025,<br>

RE: Art Needed for Silent Art Auction<br>
</p>
<p> At SPNHC 2025, we plan to highlight the potential of the
intersection of Art and Science (e. g. collections and
collecting). Chandra Earl and Deb Paul are proposing a suite of
events including a <b>Silent Art Auction</b>, an <b>Artist's
Corner</b>, and an <b>Unconference</b> session around this
topic. With these activities, we see the potential to extend the
conference’s reach and impact beyond its traditional audience and
inspire more cross-discipline/domain collaborations and
communication.</p>
<p>For the <b>Silent Art Auction, </b>SPNHC members and anyone
(you!) can donate personal or collections-based art to be
auctioned with proceeds benefiting the SPNHC Student Travel Fund.
<br>
