SciArt Exchange aims to engage and prepare the world to creatively solve space, science and technology challenges together. The nonprofit offers multi-disciplinary art contests, artwork tour events, consulting, training and community resource services. Art-integration techniques provide motivating activities that train not only facts and analytical processes but also much-needed communication, creativity and collaboration skills. Art also enables a broad discussion of not only the “how and what” but also the “why” of exploration and development, considering issues ranging from technical and strategic to ethical, emotional, and social.

Dr. Jancy McPhee, a neuroscientist by training, began the foundational work for SciArt Exchange while a space life scientist at NASA.
