Please join us for Edge of Life, a traveling exhibit originating at Stephen F. Austin State University and now showing at UNT's Eagle Exhibit Hall in the Environmental Education, Science and Technology (EESAT) building. The Edge of Life collaboration brings together the fields of forest pathology and art, exploring the place they meet. The exhibition features sixteen artists from Stephen F. Austin State University’s School of Art and fifteen ecological artists from across the nation. The goals are to share science’s ability to inspire culture through art, to present a wide range of innovative approaches to making art, and to educate about the field of forest pathology.
