What’s being described as a lunar celebration and collaborative public art project – Desert Moon is a free event happening tomorrow at Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Park in Twentynine Palms.
Join artist Ben Allanoff in the creation of a monumental sculpture. Participants will use their hands to weave hundreds of sticks into a frame and eventually a giant sculpture. The Desert Moon sculpture will align with the path of the full moon when it rises in the east at 7pm.
When the weaving is done it will be time to enjoy the simultaneous sunset and moonrise, an improvised performance from virtuoso double bassist Janie Cowan, full moon poems, telescope views, and a Q&A with astronomer John Watkins.
Sky’s the Limit also features a Zen garden, a walkable scale model of the solar system, a nature trail, and a collection of monumental steel sculptures by SImi Dabah.
You are invited to bring your own picnic dinner and chairs and blankets.
That’s the Desert Moon collaborative art event on Sunday from 4PM to 8PM at Sky’s the Limit Observatory at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms.
