“This exhibition is an exciting moment for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Sea Grant to share with our communities. Here, visitors will have the extraordinary opportunity to immerse themselves in the mesmerizing fusion of art and science, where artists from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and all over the world unveil their own distinct connection with the ocean and the ecosystems they passionately study, conserve, and cherish,” said Beth Lenz, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Sea Grant\u2019s assistant director for diversity and community engagement who organized and curated the exhibit. “This exhibit is a celebration, rich in diverse perspectives and unified by our collective love for the natural world.”<\/p>\n

The exhibit is open to the public through November 24, Tuesday–Saturday, noon–5 p.m<\/abbr>. Every Monday (November 13 and 20), the exhibit will host the Science by the Sea Seminar Series at The <\/abbr>ARTS<\/abbr> at Marks Garage from 6 to 7 p.m<\/abbr>., and Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Sea Grant-funded graduate fellows will share their research.<\/abbr><\/p>\n

The artwork honors the deep connection to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s environment and natural resources and showcases the unique perspectives of the artists through many different mediums, a few of which will be offered for sale at the event. A portion of the proceeds will go to the UH<\/abbr> Foundation to help those impacted in Maui.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will feature more than 60 pieces of art, such as oil paintings highlighting microscopic imagery of coral reef organisms; sculptures depicting the mountains to the sea using repurposed materials discarded from scientific research; drawings of marine mammals sleeping vertically in the water column; glow-in-the-dark ceramic and glass abstract sculptures inspired by coral reefs and the myriad interconnections among the reef and ocean life; and much more.<\/p>\n

On the closing night, November 24, there will be a screening of the Voice of the Sea<\/em> SMMILE<\/abbr> for Marine Mammals episode and talk story with the creators and students of the Summer Marine Mammal Intensive Learning Experience for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> high school students.<\/p>\n
