2022 Insect Art
We are proud to have some phenomenally talented artists in the Fernald Club! During the spring 2022 semester, the Club held an insect art contest for all members, with the top three artists to receive insect-related prizes. 19 artwork submissions were jointly voted on by Fernald Club members, plus grad students and faculty in Organismic & Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Conservation at UMass Amherst. Here are all of the contest's artworks, including the community's selected winners.
