The Lake George Arts Project's Gallery exhibit in Lake George, New York, USA runs for two-and-a-half weeks from August 25-September 10, 2009. The exhibit includes approximately 20+ pieces of art (paintings and drawings) and photographs taken of the amoebae using a scanning electron microscope. A television screen located near the entrance of the gallery hall plays a short video clip to introduce and provide background on the exhibit. Pepe Productions of Glens Falls, New York, USA, the local documentary filmmaking firm that produced the Lake George documentaries "The Lost Radeau: North America's Oldest Intact Warship" (2005) and "Wooden Bones: The Sunken Fleet of 1758" (to be released in the autumn 2009), provided technical assistance for the video component of the exhibit.

To complement the art exhibit, the art/science team has also scheduled a three-hour workshop on Saturday, August 29, 2009 at the Wiawaka Holiday House on the east side of Lake George. Appropriately entitled Beyond the Bateaux Art/Science Initiative Workshop, the instructional program will be taught by visual and teaching artist Chris Moran with special assistance from Dr. Bowser. Interested adults are invited to explore, create, collaborate and contribute to this hands-on workshop that will bring a deeper experience of the art exhibit and of natural history. Using a variety of painting and drawing materials, the workshop facilitators and attendees will explore the nature of art/science collaboration through a visual arts experience. Anyone interested in the workshop can contact the Lake George Arts Project for more information and for a registration form. The workshop is free, but space is limited; registration is absolutely required.

The final section of this online exhibit presents the artwork that was created as a result of this multidisciplinary approach by artist Ms. Elinor Mossop.
