Who Is Beaker Street: Beaker Street is a not-for-profit cultural organisation in lutruwita/Tasmania, with a core goal of making science accessible to all, and exploring the intersection of science and art. As well as our annual flagship Beaker Street Festival, we host engaging and interactive events, workshops, talks, discussions, and installations — facilitating collaborations and connections among scientists, artists, and the public. Our programming seeks to bring in diverse adult audiences, inviting those who don’t typically engage with the sciences — and those who do — to come together for shared cultural experiences, meaningful discussions, and opportunities to discover and create.
What We Value: We value community, collaboration, creativity, and curiosity.
