Astronomical images are many things. They can be seen as objects of beauty, art, culture and, of course, science. We propose to help generate and facilitate exhibitions of astronomical images around the world in a variety of settings during IYA2009. These multi-wavelength images would come from both professional and amateur astronomers using a variety of space and groundbased observatories. One crucial goal of this effort would be to place these images in `non-traditional' locations. That is, we hope that in addition to having these images featured in `traditional' settings such as science centres and planetariums, other types of location such as public parks, metro stations, art centres, and others would be host to these images. In short, we hope to expose astronomy to the general public in an unexpected yet accessible manner.
