Arise Music Festival

On Memorial Day weekend, we will arise together at the Cradle and be inspired again by music, art, and the power of a creative community.

Arise Music Festival
The 2022 Arise Music Festival will feature music, art, yoga, children's programming, camping, workshops and more.

This year, SETI Institute scientist Franck Marchis will offer two events at Arise:

• Life Beyond Earth Workshop
  In only two decades, we’ve gone from mere speculation about planets beyond our solar system (“exoplanets”) to being able to observe them through a variety of methods. Dr. Franck Marchis, planetary astronomer and chair of the exoplanet group at the SETI Institute will discuss new and sophisticated projects which aim to image directly those exoplanets. Future instruments could soon deliver an image of a cousin of Earth, or another Pale Blue Dot, a planet similar to our own. Franck will also discuss the consequences of finding this extra-terrestrial life on humanity at large.
• Star Party
  Come to discover the night sky with SETI Institute astronomer Dr. Franck Marchis and the Unistellar telescopes under the stars in Boone, CO. Together we will witness the birth and death of stars, and enjoy the beauty of galaxies located millions of light-years away from us. This star party will be an opportunity to reconnect with the cosmos and discuss wild and fun topics such as if we are or not alone in this vast universe.
