AVIAN NIGHT SKY by MaryBeth Garrigan and Petra Johnita Lommen

Artistry is excited to present artists MaryBeth Garrigan and Petra Johnita Lommen’s work that immerse you in the celestial wonder of their "Avian Night Sky" exhibition. This captivating display celebrates the fading beauty of our night skies, threatened by light pollution. Through ethereal paintings, the artists explore the transformative power of darkness. As birds soar through starlit heavens, they become metaphors for our own journeys through the subconscious realms of life. Garrigan's environmental activism echoes in the celestial backdrop, while Lommen's narrative weaves threads of the LGBTQ experience into the cosmic tapestry. Enhancing the multi-sensory experience is poetry by Stephen Wilbers. You can experience music by Jerry Kosak inspired by the artwork, at the closing reception and Star Party. Garrigan and Lommen have partnered with Starry Skies North to share resources on light pollution.
