"Art and illustration of science and natural history has had a long and storied tradition from the days of illustrators who joined expeditions of exploration around the globe, to the modern-day artists who create digital images of our universe. We’re proud to exhibit artworks by our guild members and the next generation of science illustrators who continue to produce the images that inspire and describe the diversity and complexity of the world around us".
