By Land and By Sea is the theme of the 2007 Art About Agriculture juried exhibit. Together the 50 participating artists in this year's display shape a compelling sense of the Pacific Northwest. Each has created his or her unique work, or works, fitting of the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences' call to artists, which was announced in the summer of 2006. Through images of agriculture, land resources, coastal life, and marine ecosystems, the 61 works in the exhibit are varied in their subject matter as the artists' chosen medium. Metal, paint, photography and printmaking are a few of the diverse artistic applications used in the show. By Land and By Sea was sponsored in partnership with the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences and the E.R. Jackman Board of Directors.
