Welcome Back to Campus!

In conjunction with the exhibition, The Art of Food, the JSMA at PSU will host a talk with Growing Gardens. This local organization uses the experience of growing food in schools, backyards, and correctional facilities to cultivate healthy, equitable communities. Come by the museum to view the exhibition and learn more about the incredible work being conducted by Growing Gardens.

PSU student Japhety Ngabireyimana and Jason Skipton, Executive Director of Growing Gardens, will talk about their experiences working with our community. 

This program is free and open to the public.

Featuring more than 100 works ranging from drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, and ceramics by 38 artists such as John Baldessari, Enrique Chagoya, Alex Katz, Alison Saar, Lorna Simpson, Andy Warhol, and four Oregon-based artists, Katherine Ace, Chris Antemann, Malia Jensen, and Sherrie Wolf, The Art of Food showcases how some of the most prominent artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have considered this universal subject.
