In 2012, artist, curator and educator Deborah Davidson had the vision to launch Catalyst Conversations: a program to present provocative ideas that cut across art and science to an engaged public. In an area rich with ideas, innovation, institutions, research, and knowledge-generation she initiated a platform to build community and connections across disciplines in our increasingly disconnected world.

As Catalyst Conversations has grown, we have held onto our core value of free and open access to ideas at the cutting edge of innovation in the arts and sciences. We present intimate and provocative conversations between artists, scientists, and the public. We work to spark collaborations, synergy and the development of future projects with these communities and beyond.

Catalyst Conversations is a 501c3 nonprofit established in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
