SCI_ART 2026 Creative Collisions Open Dome
/ORGANIZATION: re:Naissance
DEADLINE: Sept. 30, 2026
WEBSITE: Luma
CALL FOR ARTISTS:
Come be part of Vancouver’s first Open Dome jam session in the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre’s Star Theatre planetarium dome! Watch or participate in the jam with artists from across the European Union and Western Canada as part of this year's SCI_ART programme. Throughout the night, we will be actively curating a jam session where musicians, theatre-makers, and digital artists riff, improvise, and merge their crafts into something entirely new.
Expect an evening full of fun and experimental work as different creative practices collide. This will be the first time that many artists get a chance to put their work on a dome screen, so there are likely to be some moments of technical difficulties.
