Another fabulous artist/scientist/creative group: Colorado Art Ranch. I attended their seminar on Food (see photo above and yes Peter, even though I don’t cook) in Cedaredge, Colorado. Fabulous. Their MISSION, should you choose to accept it:

Many of us are looking for ways to understand and address previously unimagined challenges in the world. Colorado Art Ranch believes that the arts, in collaboration with the sciences, can help solve contemporary land and social issues. Our organization strives to nurture the development of literary,   visual, and performing artists who ask difficult questions through their work; stimulate interdisciplinary collaborations that help envision solutions; and build creative capital in rural communities.
