Small Wonders: Insects in Focus is now on display at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center through September 21.
Artist Bob Sober’s insect art exhibit allows viewers to see the hidden world of insects like never before.
The free exhibit features a series of thirty human-scale insect images that bring the natural world to a scale rarely experienced.
Bob Sober is a visual artist who is considered a technological pioneer for his photographic techniques using high-resolution digital cameras and powerful software applications capable of assisting with the assembly of hundreds or thousands of individual photographs to create the most accurate images of insects.
Small Wonders aims to inspire, in an artistic way, our natural curiosity to understand the form, function, and diversity of nature.
The exhibition is on tour with ExhibitsUSA, a national program of the Mid-America Arts Alliance.
This free exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center located at 4750 Troost Avenue in Kansas City, MO.
