The Bridges Organization
The Bridges Organization oversees the annual Bridges conference on mathematical connections in art, music, architecture, education, and culture. Since 1998, Bridges has traveled to North America, Europe, and Asia, and has attracted participants from over thirty countries. The conference features invited speakers, full and short paper presentations, educational workshops, a juried art exhibition, and arts performance events.
On this site, you will find information about the organization, our upcoming conferences, archives of information from previous years, and many other resources of interest to the Bridges community.
Bridges 2020 Virtual Conference
Bridges 2020 was originally scheduled to take place August 1–5 at Aalto University in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to cancel the in-person conference. Instead, we are hosting a Bridges Virtual Conference this year. We have created a special site for the virtual conference: 2020.bridgesmathart.org. For the virtual conference, many authors have created video presentations or special websites. We are hosting a small number of live events, including Zoom-based workshops, and the complete art gallery, short film festival, and poetry reading can all be visited online. The full Bridges 2020 Virtual Conference launches on Saturday, August 1st!
Bridges Aalto 2021
We are pleased to announce that Bridges 2021 will be held at Aalto University in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland, August 2–6, 2021. Please visit our preliminary 2021 page, and check back later this year for more details.
