How to design an art-science program? Self-reported benefits for artists and scientists in the VI4 artist-in-residence program.

ABSTRACT: While many new programs bridge the arts and sciences, a data-based examination of art-science program design can lead to more efficient programming. The Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology, and Inflammation Artist-in-Residence program is a virtual program that brings together undergraduate student "artists" and faculty-level "scientists" to generate science-art content. We have recruited over 80 artists and 50 scientists to collaborate in creating visual science communication content.

We also identify areas for improvement and key features for in producing a positive experience. We found that artists par
