Permafrost Grown Art & Science Walk

Welcome to the Permafrost Grown Art & Science Walk!

This exhibit displays art and science inspired by the project. The researchers and farmers who make up the Permafrost Grown team created art that communicate permafrost concepts, how it effects people’s lives and the knowledge gained from participating in this research.

Our intent is that by reviewing the content of this exhibit, everyone can learn something new about permafrost, agriculture and how these two systems interact in Alaska.

Experience the exhibit virtually by clicking the button below or see it in person on the asphalt path adjacent to the Georgeson Botanical Gardens (2180 W Tanana Drive, Fairbanks, AK, 99775) on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Troth Yeddha' campus.​

Exhibit Contributors:

This exhibit was co-developed by Melissa Ward Jones*, Glenna Gannon* and Laura Weingartner. Glenna Gannon initiated the idea of an art exhibit that co-developed into the Art and Science Walk.

Content for the exhibit was created by Permafrost Grown team members: Melissa Ward Jones, Glenna Gannon, Benjamin Jones, Mikhail Kanevskiy, Benjamin Gaglioti, Sara Tabbert, Iris Sutton, Nicole Pruce, Eric Mayo, Susan Kerndt, Ronda Schlumbohm, Brian Schlumbohm and Chien-Lu Ping.

A special thank you to Sara Tabbert for leading the art printmaking workshop and scanning each art piece, and to Kieran Gleason for exhibit installation and maintenance.

​This exhibit was created locally in Fairbanks, AK. Most of the art pieces were created during a printmaking workshop at the Folk School. Exhibit panel printing was done at Arctic Signs & Graphics.
