Hello everyone,
First, I am pleased to tell you that we have officially named our program with the Manitoba Craft Council, "Neurocraft". The name was chosen to reflect the partnership between our chapter and MCC, and will be used for all future grant applications and exhibitions. I am also pleased to tell you that we are now ready to start the next phase of our collaboration. I recently met with Tammy Sutherland, MCC director, and Seema Goel, our curator, to review the latest round of applications from the artists. We have chosen five incredibly talented artists, and once again, many of them have a deep personal connection to neuroscience. Here is a link to the Dropbox folder that contains their applications:

We would like to match each of these artists with a researcher, so if you are interested in working with one of them, please contact me. For those of you that have already done so, I already have matches in mind for you, but please tell me if there is a particular person whose work resonates with you.
I hope you enjoy looking at these beautiful pieces, and as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best wishes, Sari
