Richard Olson Solo Exhibit at Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery
2023-10-14 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery, 222 Delgado Street, Santa Fe, 87501
Eye on the Mountain welcomes back one of it’s most popular artists, Richard Olson for a Solo Art Exhibit. An Art Opening featuring Live Music by “Bone Orchard” will be held on Saturday, October 14th from 5-8pm. For this show the Artist Richard Olson is doing remakes of some of his older works of art. For instance he has “re-painted” the “Alice at the Bar hanging out with the White Rabbit” and re-titled the piece “Happy Hour at the Rabbit Hole (After Wonderland).” His Halloween Theme includes Skeleton Paintings, Jester Paintings, Rabbit Holes and the Sky Dragons. “It’s kind of like we’re living in this crazy world and bit by bit it’s falling apart, the old narrative is falling apart, the glue holding it all in place is falling apart, and the concepts holding the World together are dying off.” Perhaps this show it is an accidental summation of a cobbled together body of work, but surely it is a Metaphor for the Art, Artist and the World at Large! Of Course, not all of this is meant in abject seriousness, there is still plenty of playfulness and fun to be seen and experienced by the viewer! Free Parking, Food and Refreshments. Show runs through November 4th. Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery 222 Delgado Street, Santa Fe NM. Fall/Winter Hours Friday-Monday 11-6pm. Or by Appointment.

What? There is weather in space?
By Dr. Douglas Biesecker, Space Weather Scientist, NOAA (retired)
Storms from the Sun, such as solar flares and radiation storms cause impacts on Earth we call space weather and create risks to the electric power grid, aviation, GPS users, and many other industries. NOAA operates a forecast center 24×7 to monitor the Sun, forecast these storms

Eclipses, the Heliosphere, and the PUNCH mission
By Dr. Craig DeForest, Program Director for Solar Astrophysics, Southwest Research Institute, and Principal Investigator of NASA’s PUNCH mission.
We care about solar eclipses because they let us view the Sun’s corona — our star’s ultra-hot atmosphere. PUNCH is a NASA Small Explorer mission that will help us view not only the corona but the material sweeping across our solar system and over the Earth, learning more about the environment we live in — the extreme outer reaches of a star’s atmosphere.
Friday, October 13 @ 1pm
