Community Open House: "Contemplating the Night" at Bolinas Museum
Date: Saturday, January 18, 2020
Time: 2:00pm-4:00pm
Phone: 415-868-0330
Join us at Bolinas Museum for a special community open house reception celebrating the hand drawn astrolabes by Don Jolley’s adult and Bolinas Stinson School students along with artwork by current school students and astrophotography by Masha Kirshbaum.
This special two-day exhibition is a community celebration of our relationship with the night sky through art and science. The focus is the culmination of a yearlong museum astrolabe workshop for adults led by recently retired Bolinas Stinson School science and math teacher Don Jolley that began as part of last year's Cosmic Wonders exhibition.
For years, Jolley taught his 8th grade students to make astrolabes as a means of heightening direct experience of astronomy, geometry, mythology and the arts. This exhibition brings together astrolabes by Jolley's adult students, a few by school students, fascinating interpretive text, magnificent night sky photographs by Marsha Kirschbaum, and a selection of current Bolinas - Stinson Beach School student class projects, all inspired by our universe.
At 2:00pm Don Jolley will give a short talk that will enrich our awareness and stimulate our imaginations as we contemplate the night sky (followed by light refreshments).
