Since 2012, Catalyst Conversations has brought artists and scientists together to ignite ideas, challenge assumptions, and inspire new ways of seeing the world. Thank you for being part of our community!

We create spaces for curious people to connect and advance their thinking. Our unique gatherings break down silos. The world is a better place when we connect and collaborate with one another.

Our vision for 2026 is to expand these dialogues, reach broader audiences, and to elevate the voices of scientists and artists even more. In a world that needs hope and imagination, Catalyst is committed to being a place where innovation and wonder thrive.

Your support will ensure that voices and stories that might otherwise be unheard are lifted up:

$100 Catalyst Appreciator supports website updates.
$250 Catalyst Connector helps social media content creation.
