Guild of Natural Science Illustrators Exhibition

Kenosha Public Museum, Kenosha, Wisconsin
September 16 - November 12, 2006

Information - Entry forms

 

GNSI 2005 Annual Members Exhibition
June 17 – July 16, 2005

The image used in this miniaturized "Sumo" post card is an exhibit entry by David Goodsell, titled "Blood Molecule at 2,000,000 X size," a watercolor painting. It is the primary image the Jacobs Gallery used in conjunction with the show, and is particularly pertinent because one of the primary sponsors of the Exhibit is Invitrogen Molecular Probes, a company that makes dyes for use in detailed analyses of cellular and genetic components in cellular and developmental biology.

Jacobs Gallery, Hult Center for the Performing Arts, Eugene, Oregon

Entries must be received by March 8 or postmarked by March 1, 2005
