Together they reflect the exponential growth of human knowledge.” With your participation, the exhibition will be bigger, more diverse, and will work to connect the public with the artists and techniques behind the works. We’re organizing our categories differently this year and we hope you’ll submit your works in this exciting, highly visible, and unique anniversary exhibit!
