LINC uses art to elevate scientific, academic, and policy-related communication about Florida’s natural and cultural heritage.

LINC’s projects often include modern communications tools, such as web-based multimedia, for cross-platform marketing. Printed components from LINC projects are exhibited and disseminated throughout Florida in books, traveling exhibits, shows and screenings to target a variety of markets, from government officials and stakeholders to residents and tourists.
