Focus on Research
About 250 people attended the recent opening of the Art of Science Exhibition, which showcases the winners, honorable mentions and finalists of the 2019 photo contest hosted by the Division of Research.
The photos are now on display in the Schmidt Center Art Gallery in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters building, through Friday, Feb. 28. In the coming months, the traveling exhibition will be on display at the Boca Raton Public Library, first the Spanish River library and then the downtown location
, and then later the images will be put up throughout the Boca Raton campus.
