Welcome to the Plant Art Gallery. This collection is original artwork from members of the department. The goal is to create or capture the wonderful world of plants as art and have a creative outlet for our students, staff and faculty. You'll find this artwork hung on the department's hallway walls. A competition is held each year with the public voting on selected entries at Purdue's annual SpringFest in April. |
