Plankton, a word of Greek origin meaning "wanderer" or "drifter," is a wide-sweeping definition that technically includes any life form living at the mercy of tides and currents, from tiny critters unseen by the naked eye to those large enough to be viewed without a microscope. The exhibit captures these many shapes in paintings, photographs, fibers and poetry.
Plankton Parade kicks off the event, with costumes crafted at Partners in Education PlanktonFest with Gail Baker, Lindsay Hallett and the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies.
A reading of plankton-inspired poetry from a KBC class taught by Eva Saulitus begins at 6 p.m.
A reception followed and the public is invited to view work by Homer area student artists in the Jubilee! 2005 art exhibit.

Science and art come together at "Ocean Art and Nature, an Art/Science Collaboration," an exhibit that opens at the Pratt Museum at 5 p.m. on Friday, and is sponsored by the museum, Kachemak Bay Research Reserve, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies and Kachemak Bay Campus.
