The Pacific Northwest and other parts of the West are rich in agricultural diversity and history. To celebrate and be inspired by this agriculturally diversified place, the College of Agricultural Sciences at Oregon State University is organizing its 30th annual Art About Agriculture exhibition this year, embracing artistic perspectives on the theme, Cultivating the Land for a Harvest of Art.
