“The Science of our Surroundings” Art Exhibit Opening Reception

The Science of our Surroundings Art Exhibit
August 2–31, 2024
Opening Reception: Friday, August 2 from 7–9pm

Del Ray Artisans invites you to join us at The Science of Our Surroundings, a science-themed art exhibit. A cutaway of a cell. The food chain. The visible light spectrum. A dinosaur skeleton. The layers of the Earth, from the crust to the core. Each of these scientific concepts immediately conjure vivid, colorful images in our collective minds, thanks to the diligent and tireless work of science textbook artists. Come see how our artistic community has explored these concepts of science! Expect to see photography, experiments, paintings, sculptures and media that illustrate the science of our surroundings.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, August 2 between 7-9pm to meet curators Aaron Fletchersmith and Amanda Fletchersmith and the artists.
