SKY EVENTS

The sky events demonstrate a cultural phenomenon: artists who have hardly known each other in the past, share a new medium and show some of its possibilities. Before the first SKY ART Conference, 1981 at C.A.V.S. / M.I.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was only place where several sky artists first met - Paolo Soleri's Arcosanti (Arcosanti Festival) in Cordes Junction, Arizona.

The sky events are ephemeral but they involve large spaces, nature's elements and a general public. Thus they are environmental art qua event. To reach for the stars is becoming a physical gesture.
