STEAM2026 highlights themes of exploration and wonder through investigative contemporary art, interdisciplinary practices, and unique collaborations. This national exhibition is a community-centered experience that merges art with science, new technologies, and thought-provoking research. Artworks on display create curiosity towards ecosystems and our interdependencies with the environment. The inaugural STEAM exhibition debuted in 2014 and has since returned as a multifaceted triennial of programming that explores integrative work across multiple fields of study.
