CAROL + TOM

Astronomy Day at the Anchorage Museum of Art was illuminated by Mission Moon Glow, installed in the museum atrium. Curiosity about the cosmos came alive under its glow. Special thanks to Planetarium and Discovery Center Director, Aaron Slonecker, for helping bring the magic to life.​

"My favorite art piece, former Texans Carol Cunningham’s and Tom Turner’s inflatable, interactive Mission Moon Glow, sets high on a small hill on the edge of the plaza under a full moon, drawing in children and parents alike. I look back at the scene listening to the music, still clearly audible in the still night; The children hula hoop and dance, young lovers strolling hand in hand, gather under the soft glowing blue, pink, and purple lights of the massive inflated sphere to play, enjoying a break from the crowds and hustle of the plaza. As I leave the park, . The black silhouetted forms of the children and lovers spinning and dancing against the Moon Glow’s soft glowing canvas transforms the scene into a living piece of art I will never forget." - Emily Schmasltieg
