Description
Dark Sky Designs
Art in the Park on September 10, 2022 at the Rincon Mountain Visitor Center
Saguaro National Park preserves 140 square miles of darkness on the edge of the sprawling city of Tucson. Learn about the importance of dark skies to the park’s wildlife, and to all of us, as we seek certification of the park as an Urban Night Sky Place.
This event will feature:
• Park staff will highlight steps the park is taking to insure dark skies for present and future generations. Remember: “ Half the Park is after dark!”
• Instruction in watercolor painting techniques (materials provided) and a chance to create your own mixed-media night skyscape in watercolor and crayon.
Programs will be offered throughout the day at the visitor center:
