"What sculpture in these hard clouds; what expression of immense amplitude of this dotted and rippled rack, here firm and continental, there vanishing into plumes and auroral gleams. No crowding; boundless, cheerful, and strong." --Ralph Waldo Emerson, journal May 25, 1843
The sky, like water and food, is both a universal experience and also very particular: We all share the sky, but we all have our own particular piece of it. This year, Winona State University will look at the sky from a variety of perspectives, hoping to raise awareness of its significance. Winona State will sponsor lectures and films surrounding the topic, and host artistic and educational events.
