SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Hexapodan Days\, Opening
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Hexapodan Days”\nOctober 2—January 5\, 2026\nOpening: Thursday\, October 2\, from 6pm–8pm\nThe subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition\, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world\, gardens\, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nWhen you look to insects what do you find? When have you felt awe in the presence of Hexapoda? Insects surround us. Whether beneficially pollinating our gardens or spreading disease\, insects leave their mark. They forage\, they swarm\, they camouflage\, they predate. They communicate and learn socially\, they metamorphosize\, they create a hive mind. They help us mark the seasons\, they challenge our picnics\, and inspire us to create science fiction movie monsters. Gardens are habitat for insects. They are mini ecosystems or even wild places within the footprint of our domestic space. From as small as a container to as large as a meadow\, the garden is a refuge for wildlife and a place to contemplate nature. \nArtist Luke Jerram says\, “Referencing the stained glass windows and bell towers of the Duomo in Florence\, Palm Temple is both an experimental optical pavilion and a contemplation space designed for the public to consider the impact humanity is having on nature.” Where do you go to contemplate nature? \nHexapodan Days will feature original artworks from local and regional artists. \nBUY TICKETS \n \nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature. Located on the third floor\, The Art Gallery is always open to the public when the museum is operating\, Wednesday-Sunday at 400 College Ave. Lancaster\, PA. \nInterested in participating in our gallery events\, or purchasing art? Contact Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator at SHansen@NorthMuseum.org. \n  \nPart of North Museum’s A.L.E. (Adult Learning and Engagement) programs \n

SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Hexapodan Days\, Opening
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Hexapodan Days”\nOctober 2—January 5\, 2026\nOpening: Thursday\, October 2\, from 6pm–8pm\nThe subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition\, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world\, gardens\, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nWhen you look to insects what do you find? When have you felt awe in the presence of Hexapoda? Insects surround us. Whether beneficially pollinating our gardens or spreading disease\, insects leave their mark. They forage\, they swarm\, they camouflage\, they predate. They communicate and learn socially\, they metamorphosize\, they create a hive mind. They help us mark the seasons\, they challenge our picnics\, and inspire us to create science fiction movie monsters. Gardens are habitat for insects. They are mini ecosystems or even wild places within the footprint of our domestic space. From as small as a container to as large as a meadow\, the garden is a refuge for wildlife and a place to contemplate nature. \nArtist Luke Jerram says\, “Referencing the stained glass windows and bell towers of the Duomo in Florence\, Palm Temple is both an experimental optical pavilion and a contemplation space designed for the public to consider the impact humanity is having on nature.” Where do you go to contemplate nature? \nHexapodan Days will feature original artworks from local and regional artists. \nBUY TICKETS \n \nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature.

SUMMARY:The Art Gallery–Hexapodan Days\, Opening
DESCRIPTION:Pictured above: Triassic Hunters\, 48″x60″\, Oil on Canvas. By Jason Ward \n“Hexapodan Days”\nOctober 2—January 5\, 2026\nOpening: Thursday\, October 2\, from 6pm–8pm\nThe subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for ‘six legs’) or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive feature: a three-part body plan with a consolidated thorax and three pairs of legs. In this exhibition\, North Museum of Nature & Science asked regional artists to explore their relationship to the insect world\, gardens\, and our greater impact on biodiversity found within wild spaces more broadly. \nA message from Sheri Hansen\, Art Gallery and Visual Arts Program Coordinator: \nWhen you look to insects what do you find? When have you felt awe in the presence of Hexapoda? Insects surround us. Whether beneficially pollinating our gardens or spreading disease\, insects leave their mark. They forage\, they swarm\, they camouflage\, they predate. They communicate and learn socially\, they metamorphosize\, they create a hive mind. They help us mark the seasons\, they challenge our picnics\, and inspire us to create science fiction movie monsters. Gardens are habitat for insects. They are mini ecosystems or even wild places within the footprint of our domestic space. From as small as a container to as large as a meadow\, the garden is a refuge for wildlife and a place to contemplate nature. \nArtist Luke Jerram says\, “Referencing the stained glass windows and bell towers of the Duomo in Florence\, Palm Temple is both an experimental optical pavilion and a contemplation space designed for the public to consider the impact humanity is having on nature.” Where do you go to contemplate nature? \nHexapodan Days will feature original artworks from local and regional artists. \nBUY TICKETS \n \nThe Art Gallery promotes regional artwork that is inspired by science and nature.
