Agar Art (make a living art work!)

BUGSS is extremely excited to host Agar Art workshops in partnership with the American Society of Microbiology (ASM)!

What is Agar Art you ask? It is a perfect marriage of biology and art that everyone and anyone can get into. Come to the BUGSS lab to learn about some special microbes that produce an array of beautiful and striking colors. You will be able to use the tools and guidance provided by BUGSS to create your very own living work of art on agar plates!

Perhaps your art work has what it takes to enter the national ASM contest and win!? Yes, of course it does! This year’s contest theme is “What Brings You Joy?” and you can see examples of previous winners at: www.asm.org/agarart
