Chabot Space & Science Center presents the 2nd Annual Science & Art Appreciation Night Friday, April 24th 7pm-11pm

CALLING ALL VISUAL ARTISTS

Want to showcase your artwork to a new audience FREE of charge? Chabot Space & Science Center is calling all aspiring, emerging and professional artists to come and

showcase their art or photographs during the 2nd Annual Science & Art Appreciation

Night. The specific theme for the evening is the infusion of Art & Science. Just as

Leonardo da Vinci was an artist AND a scientist, great art is often inspired by discoveries in science. The study of light in painting, led to many great discoveries by scientists such as Galileo and Newton. We are a family friendly environment so no explicit or sexually suggestive images are permitted. Selected artists will be featured for the duration of the event. Artists must be 18 years of age or older. Each artist is asked to submit a minimum of 2 pieces (electronic versions only) and a 200 word statement about their piece and how it relates to science for approval. All final pieces must be self contained; free standing pieces will be accepted if accompanied by an easel. Minimum number of submission is 2. Selected artist and 1 guest will receive free admission to the Center on the day of the event. Deadline for submissions: 4/17/09. Send all submissions to ljohnson@chabotspace.org
