Through an open public art competition, four artists were selected to create temporary installations that integrate art, science, flight, astronomy, and exploration. The four installations, “Balloon Eclipse,” “Space Messengers,” “Laser Borealis,” and “Cosmic Prism” were funded by the Albuquerque Public Art Program with support from the Balloon Museum to activate the museum’s annular eclipse programming. Museum visitors are able to interact with each of the temporary installations from October 7th to the morning of October 15th, during pre-dawn and evening events with museum admission and special event parking.
