The Art of the Natural World Exhibit Series is an annual show every spring presenting science themes and concepts in an art gallery exhibit. The Exhibit Series, now in its fifth year, presents science as a form of artwork in a compelling, non-intimidating, and interactive medium to people of all ages. This show is open to all Lock Haven University students, faculty, and staff, local school students, and the general public free of charge. Local school groups can view the exhibit with a tour guide of either a Lock Haven University Science or Art Student or faculty member the same way one would tour a public art gallery.

 

 

Student Testimonal:

Jarred Zimmerman "The energy and overall enthusiam that the children brought really renewed my love for science.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well and how quickly the children were able to correctly guess each item on their worksheet.  The exhibit, I think, let people see that science is not just all numbers and calculations, it can also be beautiful."
