As scientific research becomes increasingly complex and abstract, effective visual communication is essential for public understanding and engagement. Traditional scientific figures often fail to convey the complexity of phenomena like exoplanetary environments or origin of life processes on an accessible level. While artistic collaboration can transform abstract concepts into compelling narratives, structural barriers and disconnects between fields can inhibit artist-scientist partnerships. This work presents the development and implementation of PALLAS, a searchable directory where artists showcase portfolios and scientists can filter by medium and subject matter to find ideal collaborators. This platform aims to combat key barriers preventing artist-scientist collaboration such as difficulties in connecting across disciplines, lack of funding to compensate artists fairly, and publish-or-perish culture that favors rapid output over creative interdisciplinary work. Through PALLAS, we aim to establish a sustainable ecosystem that recognizes artistic work as integral to scientific enterprise, ultimately enhancing scientific literacy and public engagement with complex research topics.
