(Museum & Observatory Open Telescope Night on The Ridges)

Visit the painting Strobia, by Nancy Graves, in the Kennedy Museum of Art (open until 9 pm). Visit the Observatory to view the night sky (any time between 7 – 9 pm). Admission to both locations is free. A shuttle will be available between the Museum and the Observatory from 6:30 – 9 pm.

Strobia is on loan from the Cincinnati Art Museum in the exhibition PAIRINGS: CAM Paintings & KMA Prints. To create her abstract paintings, Nancy Graves often referenced scientific data, including lunar maps and NASA satellite recordings. Public Telescope Night is hosted by Ohio University Astronomy faculty and students.
