This holiday season, let's support creatives and causes we cherish.

Coming this Friday - "The Masterpiece Called Earth" art show on May 1st, in 204 Akasofu Building from 5 to 7 pm on the UAF campus. Artists created artwork based on satellite images of the earth. There will be paper collage, smalti mosaic, a quilt, felt work, water color - lots of texture just like Earth . Pieces below are by Christi Kemper and Amber O'Dell-Anderson. For more info go to www.uaf.edu/cnsm. There will be light refreshments.

Description: Artists (who are also UAF staff members, faculty and students) looked at satellite images from the U.S. Geological Survey's "Earth as Art" collection and reinterpreted them into paper collages, a smalti mosaic, felt work, a quilt, acrylics, water colors and much more. Just like the earth, there's a lot of texture to this show.

About the inspiration: Realizing the beauty of satellite images, the USGS and NASA have selected certain satellite images for their aesthetic value and shared them with the public. From NASA: "They were created by printing visible and infrared data in colors visible to the human eye. Band combination and colors were chosen to optimize their dramatic appearance."

Sponsors: CLA Collaborative Arts Council, College of Natural Science & Mathematics, Geophysical Institute Alaska Satellite Facility GeoData Center

Science-inspired art by K12 students mentored by UAF grad students and art by the grad students themselves. It'll take place this Friday from 5-8 pm in the Murie Building.
