Event

Spray paint astroart for church youth group.  Church is buying/bringing supplies.  This will be outdoors due to use of spray paint.

Learned from the Green Bank Star Quest Star Party a few years ago, this is an activity where one can make really beautiful cosmic looking art quickly using spray paint, shapes and paper for textures.  There is similar art hung in the BBNC planetarium above the operations desk.  Here's an idea of what's possible:  https://steemitimages.com/DQmeQMt9pdHsQV8WUPzpiPtqyBgHdQa7hS8CKXbuetzYcGk/vnblue_1525255099151.jpg

I am bringing my own left over spray paint and materials for demo and you're welcome to try this if you'd like as you are welcome to come and see a fun/easy astronomy activity.  Please RSVP only if you ARE coming.

This is a private event for the youth group and therefore the event is not publically posted.
