If you'll pardon the pun, there's a convergence coming to the Convention Center real soon! The American Meteorological Society (AMS) will be in town hosting their 91st annual conference and have collaborated with EcoArts Connections to bring us a weather related exhibit that sounds really interesting. Independent curator Lele Barnett, who just landed at Microsoft as the Curatorial Consultant for their art collection, was tapped to organize this exhibition of works by over 36 artists.

“In addition to being aesthetically nourishing, the exhibition will also be scientifically engaging, helping the public better experience a broad array of weather and climate activities. The works will share not only the beauty of natural forces, but also the impact of weather and climate upon public health and safety, economic growth, national security, sustainability, and air and water quality.” Marda Kirn, executive director of EAC
