The Art of Seed: Seed Pack Art Exhibition is a curated selection of works from the collection of the Hudson Valley Seed Company displayed along side their Art Packs.
The Hudson Valley Seed Company produces heirloom and open-pollinated garden seeds on their organic certified farm in upstate New York. They are a values-driven seed company that practices and celebrates responsible seed production and stewardship. The Art Packs unite practical aspirations in the garden with the universal human desire for beauty, meaning, and joy. Each year, Hudson Valley Seed Co. releases a call for art seeking artists to interpret the varieties in its collection, and hundreds of artists apply from across the United States. The show is a selection of the original works from previous years with their seed packets. Seed Art Packs and prints will be available for purchase.
Hudson Valley Seed Company’s Mission
Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Company, we are both farmers and storytellers. We are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in our catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO. We were one of the first companies to sign the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI), and we will remain committed to our values of sustainability to the last. We believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it is a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and we work with a range of artists as diverse as our seeds to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.
