                            NIGHT VISIONS

                            an exhibition

                             part of the
                             Autumn 2001
                       Celebration of the Night


The Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition, in collaboration with Flagstaff
Cultural Partners, is sponsoring an exhibit to be held at the Coconino
Center for the Arts from 5 October through 10 November 2001.

As part of the Celebration, this major and innovative exhibition will
explore the general theme of the mystery, beauty and inspiration of the
night, the night sky, and the stars.  The exhibition will include fine
art in many media and from all ages, poetry, and astronomical images,
including images from the Hubble Heritage Project.

Scientists (both professional and amateur) are encouraged to submit
works produced or inspired by their astronomical or planetary research
and exploration.

Entries can include images based on astronomical or spacecraft data, or
any other item including but not limited to modified/processed images,
derived imagery based on or inspired by scientific data, or poems.  The
emphasis is on aesthetics and inspiration rather than scientific
accuracy or pedagogy, though images should be accompanied by a brief
description or explanation.

Please take the time to share the inspiration and beauty of your field.

For submission guidelines, calendar, and other important information,
please see
