Artist + Researcher Exhibition Year 3 (ARx3) 

October 28 through Spring 2025
Genius Theater, Level 1
Artist + Researcher Exhibition (ARx) is the Phoenix Bioscience Core (PBC) Arts Committee’s largest initiative. The program came to life in 2021 to create a program that could translate the complex life science research happening on the PBC to be attainable to a wider audience. Thus, the concept of creating teams of one artist paired with one life science researcher to collaborate on a work of art was born.

For nine months, the ARx3 collaborative teams worked to translate cutting-edge life science research on the PBC campus into various art forms, including sculpture, painting, and digital media.
