Hi everyone - I hope you all are having a great new year! I'm excited to keep improving our educational programs this year, and we have much in store. We have many great plans to share the beauty of fractals with ever-larger audiences, inspiring people all over the world about math, science and art.
We're busily working on making the upcoming First Friday Fractal shows better than ever. This includes beautiful new custom created music and newly rendered fractal zoom animations. And, as a seasonal bonus, a special section on the chaotic journey of... snowflakes!
So please come check out our next First Friday Fractal show, this coming Friday January 5th, at 6:00 and 7:30. The shows are held in the LodeStar Planetarium in the Natural History Museum in Old Town, in Albuquerque.
These shows are extremely popular, and we have now sold out TWELVE shows in a row (!). So please arrive at least 30 minutes early to make sure you get in. You can also buy tickets by phone starting on Friday morning, which we recommend - just call the Museum admissions desk at 841-2869. The Museum has just raised the ticket prices by a dollar, so admission is now $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $4 for kids age 3-12.
Each month we set aside 10 spots for teachers to get in free, but they have to reserve their place in advance. So, if you're a teacher who wants to attend, or you'd like your child's teacher to see the show, just let us know by Friday morning.
And an update about the fractal merchandise - we've sold several of the framed fine art fractal reproductions, and a number of you managed to order fractal t-shirts through our website in time for Christmas. Thanks for your support! There will be some gorgeous new framed fractals on display, and a cool new t-shirt design available this Friday at the LodeStar show, so come check them out if you want to own some cutting-edge, eye-catching art. This is art that reflects nature, art that explores infinity, art that shows you support math and science education - this is Art for the Smart :)
Stay tuned for more exciting updates about how we're sharing fractals to inspire people in math, science and art. I hope to see you soon, and thanks for your interest and support!
