SOHO SUNWORKS ART EXHIBIT

August 9th - September 15th

Schreder Planetarium is proud to be a driving force in bringing this fantastic exhibit to the

Redding Library

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY a new art exhibit on the Sun called SunWorks is now here in Redding! The 24 pieces in SunWorks were selected from over 500 submissions to the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory's "SunWorks" art contest that ran for 10 months and ended in March 2006. All entries had to have some thematic tie-in to the Sun. Images of all media were accepted from around the world. Artists were grouped by Grades 4-8; Grades 9-12, and adults with monthly prizes awarded in each group. These include a 30-inch aluminum Sun, an exotic solar face mask, a sun made of Lego blocks, an imaginative stained glass solar themed construction, and a blown glass plate that looks amazingly sun-like.
