Community outreach results in Plankton Mandala Art Exhibit for World Oceans Day
In celebration of World Oceans Day, the Alaska SeaLife Center featured a captivating new exhibit that bridges the worlds of microscopic marine science and fine art. The “Plankton Mandala Art Exhibit” is the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between a team of ocean ecologists from the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa and an Alaska-based artist and educator. The exhibition showcases intricate artwork that captures the beauty of the smallest ocean animals, all created during an artist-in-residence program at Seward Middle School and community workshops at Alaska SeaLife Center.
