The LSU School of Veterinary Medicine has invited visual artists from across the globe to submit artworks celebrating animals, the best of which will be on display as part of the Vet School's annual Animals in Art exhibition. Of the 302 entries submitted by artists from across thirty states, plus Canada, Germany, Guatemala, and Turkey, sixty entries were selected for the exhibition across a variety of media. Judging this years competition will be Callie Smith, Museum Educator and Public Programs Manager at the Louisiana State University Museum of Art. Artwork on display will also be for sale, with twenty percent commission on each piece going to benefit LSU Vet Med programs.
