The Branch Out Neurological Foundation is currently doing a call out to artists who would be paired with neuroscience projects to create a new work inspired by brain research or donate an existing piece that is a great match.

Chosen pieces are featured an online bidding site, in a week-long gallery showing at cSPACE, and then be auctioned off as a part of a two evening fundraising event.

Please have a look at the opportunity by visiting branchoutfoundation.com.

Here’s a little bit about Branch Out and the fundraiser.

1 in 3 …

Your Brain on Art Fundraiser

We fund research to find innovative and alternative solutions to keep brains at their best. Brain research gets a little“science-y”. We decided to flip it on its head and turn to art to help explain it.

The Your Brain on Art Fundraiser explores the connections between art, technology, and neuroscience. Hosted in the character-filled cSPACE, this fundraiser brings together creative minds for an evening of cocktails, delicious food, theatre, art show, and auction. The evening is capped off by renowned and local playwright, Eugene Stickland, who has created a play inspired by our research. With two evening performances, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy art, see the research in action and meet some of Branch Out’s neuroscientists.
