Integrating the arts and sciences for real-world impact.
Our Vision
ARISA (Advancement and Research in the Sciences and Arts) is a not-for-profit research and social work organisation that bridges the arts and sciences to advance academic research in psychology, neuroscience, and neuroaesthetics, preserve tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and promote social change.
With a focus on interdisciplinary approaches, science communication, and community engagement, ARISA aims to make the sciences and arts open, equitable, and accessible to all.
Bridging human endeavour and human creativity
At ARISA, we recognise the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, public engagement, and science communication. By bringing together artists, scientists, researchers, and community members, we are creating a platform where diverse perspectives and expertise converge.
