In November of 2019 I hosted an event bringing local artists into USF's College of Marine Science to look under microscopes, paint with bacteria and interact with marine scientists in their natural habitats... labs! After the artists were inspired by the science, they had time to create a new piece of work, which we showed at a gallery night named "Think Macro Act Micro" in January of 2020. Artists showcased their paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures for a crowd of 100 people. In the middle of the show, there was a performance with acting, dancing and projected photos from microscope images. Read more here: https://www.marine.usf.edu/blogs/think-macro-act-micro/
