The exhibition photographs are the product of field excursions to a wide variety of farms and food processing facilities in Ohio, including an organic Amish farm, a veggie burger production facility, and a conventional dairy farm. Farmscapes offers visitors a window onto each student artist’s individual experience, as well as the collective discoveries of the class.

Artists Jennifer Pentecost and Paul Hamilton of the Granville Studio of Visual Arts served as the official jurors for this year’s show and selected 35 images for display. The resulting exhibition provides a unique opportunity for visitors to enhance their awareness of the American food system.

Artists included in the exhibition are: Colleen Henegan ’12 (Arlington Heights, Ill.), Melissa Henry ’12 (Greensburg, Pa.), Nicki Jimenez ’12 (Foxboro, Mass.), Juliana Lisuk ’12 (Leland, Mich.), Braedon Long ’13 (Cincinnati), Jennifer Low ’12 (New York, N.Y.), Sarah McIntosh ’13 (Coshocton, Ohio), Nicco Pandolfi ’12 (Pitttsburgh), Kyle Plummer ’12 (Nashville), Shane Richmond ’13 (Mt.
