"What dreams we have and how they fly."
- Paul Laurence Dunbar
Over the last century, the achievement of manned flight has
fulfilled a long-held dream of mankind. Sky, Blue, Heavens
is a national exhibit of artists' creative responses to the
achievement of manned flight whether it be powered by machine,
by muscle, or by imagination. The exhibit is presented in
connection with Purdue University's Centennial
of Flight activities, which will include Purdue Convocations
presentation of a new touring production by the Dayton
Contemporary Dance Company titled The Flight Project.

hands-on activities complementing the exhibit.
