This year’s Upstate Art Weekend exhibition centers on bugs and their vital role in sustaining ecosystems. How do insects connect to every living thing around us? From pollination to decomposition, bugs shape the environments we inhabit, often in ways that go unseen. The exhibition invites artists to consider these small but powerful creatures and the ecological networks they support. This year brings together more than 40 artists living across the U.S. and Canada, with continued attention to queer ecology and interdependence.
