Simons Foundation: Request for Proposals
At the Simons Foundation, we believe that science is part of culture — and we are interested in continuing to explore how art and science converge. In 2025, we will welcome up to 15 collaborative teams, each composed of an artist, a scientist and a curator or arts producer, to join our next iteration of the Triangle Program, leading with a period of ideation around the theme of “symmetry.”
The Open Interval program will run from June–December, 2025, starting with a Collaboration Weekend June 6–8. Each participating team will be awarded a $30,000 grant.
Over the course of seven months, participants will be supported in structuring their collaboration in whatever way suits them. There are no expected outcomes or artworks.
This program is intended to support inquiry and exploration that expands how both artists and scientists think and conduct research, with arts organizations acting as hosts and facilitators.
