The University of Wyoming's Biodiversity Institute is seeking artwork to display in the gallery located in the atrium/lobby of the Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center. Submissions are open to UW students, faculty, professionals, children, and groups, with exhibitions featuring biodiversity-related media such as photography, paintings, sculptures, and collaborative scientist-artist projects. The next exhibition, titled "Adventures on the Kinabatangan: UW Field Course 2025," will showcase work from UW students who traveled to Borneo.
This call for art matters because it highlights the growing intersection of art and science, using visual creativity to foster public engagement with biodiversity and conservation. By rotating exhibitions every six to eight weeks and offering professional signage and display technology, the institute provides a platform for diverse voices—from students to professionals—to communicate environmental themes, reinforcing the role of art in science communication and community outreach.
