. . . is a center for artists, scientists, and hybrid artist-scientists
to work in collaboration or in parallel with others.
Our mission is to develop curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world
through collaborative, participatory art + science.
We are located an hour northeast of Asheville, at a nexus of remarkable biological diversity, rare world-class geological exposures, dark skies for stargazing, and in the Toe River Arts district with a ridiculously abundant ratio of artists per capita.

My sincerest thanks to Nancy and everyone in the High Cove community who made my stay at the Center so pleasant and productive! AS IF residents can expect inspiring conversations, contemplative walks in the woods, and creative bursts at the fireplace. I’m already looking forward to my next residency and can’t wait to see how the Center has developed since my stay in December 2017. Great things are ahead!

Brilliant, like SciArt, anything that progresses the art world beyond post modernism is evolution.
