This First Friday Gallery Event will provide an opportunity to explore both earth and sky — at night. The evening features both John Ashley’s Gallery Show: Night Shift: Montana’s Nocturnal Animals and programming with the Western Montana Astronomical Association.Join us for an evening of education and art. View the gallery of exceptional photographs taken by naturalist and photographer John Ashley, speak to him about his work, and purchase art. Then visit with members of the Western Montana Astronomical Association as they use the Magic Planet and NASA research to explore the planets in our solar system and galaxies far beyond our own. Enjoy light refreshments and after-hours museum access.
