Planetary Art Fair (All week)
The University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory presents the seventh annual Art of Planetary Science 2020: A Virtual Odyssey, an exhibition of art celebrating the beauty and elegance of science. The exhibition features works of art from Tucson and around the world inspired by the Solar System, the universe, and the scientific data we use to explore it. Hosted entirely online, the virtual galleries will be open through 31 October 2020.

Virtual art will be displayed in three galleries: Data Art, Fine Art and Moon Art. For the first time in The Art of Planetary Science history there is a special Moon themed art exhibit to celebrate International Observe the Moon Night on Saturday, September 26th, 2020!

This exhibition aims to provide a new way of looking at science and the Solar System, to provide a look at the historic impact that the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has had on lunar exploration and on future studies of the Moon. We present art created from the images, data, equations, and instruments used to study the cosmos, revealing the underlying meaning that inspires scientists in their work. Being able to view Data Art and Fine Art side by side offers the public insight into science and the Solar System in which we reside.
