Science Inspires Art at the AMS Conference
Hard to miss at the 91st Annual American Meteorological (AMS) Conference was the Forecast: Communicating Weather and Climate Art Show. In a display co-directed by Steve Ackerman and Peggy LeMone and curated by Lele Barnett, more than 30 regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists based in Washington filled the 2nd Floor corridor of the Seattle Convention Center with spectacular photography, dynamic sculpture, stunning paintings and abstracts, and more.
The exhibit opened on Monday, 24 January 2011, and will continue through 9 April 2011. A private opening reception at the exhibit for AMS donors and collaborating artists and scientists followed by a public reception was held on the first day of the exhibit from 7-9 pm.
