FAQ FOR VISIONS OF A SOUTHWEST SKY
What kinds of art are being accepted for Visions of a Southwest Sky?
Great question! We're accepting all types of art from photography to sculpture to paintings and even audiovisual. We want to see what the Southwest has inspired you to create.
Are you only accepting night sky photography and artworks?
Not at all! We're accepting art that is inspired by science, astronomy, the night sky and the Southwest.
What is a pop up art show?
This year's art show is only for a few hours. This means you'll drop off your art in a short time leading up to the art show, and then pick it up within the couple of days following.
What if I have other questions?
Please reach us at flwo-pubaffairs@cfa.harvard.edu and we'll get right back to you.
Is there an entry fee?
Never! We will never charge a fee for you to enter an art show hosted by Whipple Observatory.
