Upcoming Special Events at LHO:
- Art & Science Showcase May 22nd-- 5pm-8pm: LIGO is hosting a showcase of art from Kiona-Benton Elementary School 4th graders and dance performances from students at the Mid-Columbia Ballet as a part of a special tour event! KiBe students have developed their art based on STEM subjects that spark their curiosity (including LIGO!), and the choregraphy of the ballet performances were inspired by gravitational wave science. Join us for a night of science, art, and fun!
The LIGO Exploration Center will be open for the duration of the event for those who are interested in exploring our interactive exhibits or viewing the 4th grade art showcase. The ballet performances will be incorporated along the walking tour. You may sign up to attend either or both! Tickets are free; please register using the link below.
