[Nhcoll-l] Calling All SPNHC Artists! -- STEAMed SPNHC: One Planet, Shared Futures

[Deborah Paul]

Holiday Greetings to all SPNHC Folks,

RE: Calling All SPNHC Artists! -- STEAMed SPNHC: One Planet, Shared Futures

At SPNHC 2025, we plan to highlight the potential in the intersection of 
Art + Science (e. g. collections and collecting). We seek SPNHC Artists 
and artwork for STEAMed SPNHC. Chandra Earl and I propose a suite of 
events including a Silent Art Auction, an Artist's Corner, and an 
Unconference around this topic.

In our Silent Art Auction, SPNHC members and potentially local artists 
donate personal or collections-based art to be auctioned, with proceeds 
benefiting the SPNHC Student Travel Fund. This initiative directly 
impacts inclusion and supports students and early-career professionals, 
while simultaneously celebrating and expanding the artistic creativity 
of our community. The auction will also serve as a platform to connect 
attendees with the arts, while showcasing the diversity of contributions 
from SPNHC members. By encouraging participation from local artists, the 
auction has the potential to extend the conference’s reach and impact 
beyond its traditional audience, strengthening ties, visibility, 
relevance, and inclusion with the local community and across our own.

A. If you have art you would like to contribute to this event, please 
fill out this Google Form <https://tinyurl.com/steamed-spnhc-art> which is

B. If you would like to help organize any of these associated events 
with us, please contact Chandra (cc'd) or myself.

STEAMed SPNHC: One Planet, Shared Futures,
Deborah Paul, Chandra Earl, and for all the SPNHC Artists
