Science Museum Oklahoma will introduce a new speaker series, smART Talks, on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The free public program will feature internationally recognized artist Jonty Hurwitz, whose work explores the intersection of art, perception, mathematics, and engineering.

Designed to highlight the vital connection between art and science, smART Talks brings together innovators and artists whose creative practices are grounded in scientific thinking. The inaugural event will include a lecture from Hurwitz about his large-scale works, the scientific principles behind their creation, and the process of transforming complex data into visual experiences. The presentation will conclude with an audience question and answer session.

Hurwitz’s work is currently featured in POV: Perspectives in Anamorphic Art, one of two rotating exhibitions located in the museum’s smART Space galleries, making this event a unique opportunity for guests to hear directly from the artist behind the exhibition.

“At Science Museum Oklahoma, we believe the arts are an essential part of how people experience and understand science,” said Sherry Marshall, John E. Kirkpatrick President and CEO of Science Museum Oklahoma. “Observation, experimentation, and creativity are at the heart of both scientific discovery and artistic expression. Programs like smART Talks help people see that connection clearly and recognize the important role the arts play in inspiring curiosity and innovation.”

The smART Talks series reinforces the museum’s commitment to STEAM education by celebrating the “A” in STEAM and demonstrating how artistic thinking strengthens problem solving, exploration, and discovery across disciplines.

The March 28 program is free to attend, but seating is limited.
