Join us at the GMA Gallery's newest pop-up, Art Within the Sciences! This collaboration with ABAC's Upward Bound program celebrates 80+ works by 37 UB students this summer.

Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program designed to support high school students from underserved backgrounds in preparing for college. Through academic enrichment, college exposure, and personalized support, the program helps students develop the skills and confidence needed to enroll in and succeed in higher education.

Among all the college-enrollment-focused activities the students have participated in this summer, this special art class has offered them the opportunity to engage with artwork in the scientific field. Animal adaptations, symmetry, and pigmentation are present in both art and science. Students, inspired by field trips and lessons, have made scientific observations, viewed them with an artistic eye, and created art based on those experiences.
Today, this portion of the program culminated in an art exhibit opening for those students, on display at ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture.

We invite you to visit the exhibition between June 17 and July 1 to see the stunning pieces.
