UMISC ART SHOW 2024
Art as a Voice for Science
Art and science are a powerful combination. Both pursuits involve exploration, discovery, and invention. Creating art with a scientific theme can provide a new way, especially for visual learners, to engage with scientific ideas. With that in mind, we are excited to host our second UMISC Art Show. This year's participating artists will have the opportunity to showcase their creative works that bring attention to invasive species, environmental conservation and nature.
