Oregon State University’s annual Art About Agriculture Competition and Touring Exhibition 2025 features nearly 60 Pacific Northwest artists.

The showcase is designed to promote awareness and appreciation of the region’s agricultural practices and abundance.

A reception is set for 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. May 5 at the Giustina Gallery of the LaSells Stewart Center in Corvallis, Ore.

The exhibition will stay at OSU’s main campus until June 25. It moves to the Pendleton Center for the Arts in Pendleton, Ore., from July 3 to Aug. 16.

Art About Agriculture’s exhibition then moves to Clackamas Community College in Oregon City, Ore., where it will show from Sept. 29 through Oct. 31.

Artworks for the show were selected by a blind jury, where artist names were removed from review materials.

Nine students at OSU, the Pendleton Center for the Arts and Clackamas Community College had art chosen for the exhibit.

The Art About Agriculture program was established in 1983.

The program also has a permanent collection, and most of its artworks were acquired through the annual competition process. The permanent collection can be found on display in public spaces throughout Oregon.
