About the Exhibition: 

Another Look, Another World is an interdisciplinary exhibition exploring how visual art may deepen our understanding of Maryland’s insect biodiversity and inspire greater appreciation for the ecological roles insects play in our environment. The exhibition is part of a University of Maryland Arts for All-funded project aimed at engaging students in science communication through art, increasing awareness of insect biodiversity and ecological roles, fostering collaboration across disciplines, evaluating changes in attendee knowledge, attitudes, and intentions, and contributing to a replicable arts-based model for conservation education.

The exhibition will highlight six Maryland insect species that are included on Maryland’s List of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Animals. Original works created through the exhibition’s two different open calls will be displayed alongside science-based information about insect ecological roles, insect habitats, and key conservation actions.

Anyone, including University of Maryland students, faculty, staff, and community members, are invited to explore the exhibition, whether by creating and submitting artwork, learning more about Maryland’s insects, or simply taking another look at some small but essential organisms that shape our ecosystems. By bringing art, science, and environmental education together, Another Look, Another World seeks to create opportunities for reflection, discovery, collaboration, action, and new ways of seeing the connections between insects, people, and the places we share.
