Workers at the Creative Growth Art Center, a non-profit in Oakland, California that supports artists with disabilities, are forming a union. The Art Newspaper reports that the move was motivated by concerns over hiring practices, wages and benefits, an over-reliance on volunteer labor, and poor treatment of staff with disabilities. Story may be paywalled.

Dr. Tyler Nordgren is an astronomer and arguably the world's best-known eclipse artist — he's Night Sky Ambassador to America’s National Parks and creates the travel posters for U.S. communities and parks in the path of solar eclipse totality. Observer talked to him about his passion for sharing the beauty of the night sky. “Solar eclipses create a great intersection of science, history, art, myth and awe,” he explained, telling the publication that his connection with space started the day he was born, the day Apollo 12 landed on the moon.

Ontario photographer Dave Conlon started photographing abandoned homes in 2012, and has spent the ensuing 12 years shooting the insides of forsaken homes, monasteries, hotels and churches. Now, he's planning a trip to Canada's largest ghost town, Anyox, which neighbors the Alaska border and can be accessed only by jet boat or helicopter. He shared his work with Maclean's, and spoke to reporter Alex Cyr about his process, ethics, and brushes with the law.
