"Celestial Imaginings: Artists Exploring the Galaxies" at LASM

The beauty and wonder of the night sky has captivated those of us on this floating rock called Earth for centuries, even millennia.  The Louisiana Art & Science Museum (LASM)'s newest exhibition Celestial Imaginings: Artists Exploring the Galaxies celebrates these vast cosmos and the twentieth anniversary of LASM's Irene W. Pennington Planetarium by inviting eight contemporary artists to offer their interpretation of the planets, stars, and night sky—which are on display in The Republic Finance Gallery. The opening will be celebrated with a Launch Party featuring live music, wine and refreshments, a Mimosa Handcrafted trunk show, door prizes, and more on August 18 from 6 pm–8:30 pm. lasm.org.
