Job description

Science-Rendezvous (SR) is a one-day festival that happens simultaneously at sites across Canada, showcasing local scientific research and programs.

Participate in this year's sci-art gallery! It is family-friendly and highly interactive, promoting interest in science and research.

Best of all, it is FREE! Downtown Toronto is Canada's largest festival, with over 40,000 attendees last year.

This year, our event will be on May 10, 2025, from 11 am - 5 pm, Front Campus (King's College Circle).

Part of this wonderful celebration is the display of local science art, or sci-art at our SciArt Gallery. This can be in any medium, with any kind of subject relating to nature and/or science.

The theme of this year's Science Rendezvous is Wonder! While we, unfortunately, cannot pay our artists, we invite and encourage participating artists to sell their work.

If you think you'd like to participate, please fill out the form below. We have volunteers that can help with set-up and clean-up, and we will provide lunch! We will follow up with more information as it becomes available.

Deadline for applying: 11:59 PM on Apr. 25th, 2025.

If you apply after this date, there is no guarantee we will be able to accommodate you. If you'd like to contact us before applying for any reason, please email us at [e-mail].

NOTE: UofT students are eligible for CCR credit!

Artists are expected to bring their own works on the day of the event.
