Mission
Our mission is to use large-scale community art projects to inspire and unite children in hospitals, refugee centers, and schools around the world with each other and our interdisciplinary team of art, aerospace, astronaut, and health professionals. These projects focus on the awe and wonder of space exploration and the connection between personal and planetary health; and raise awareness of our role as crew members, not just passengers, on Spaceship Earth.
Our strategy is to facilitate and implement space-themed art and healing programs; to award scholarships and grants to art students and artists who want to develop their own space-themed art therapy ideas; and to document our work in support of on-going research in the field of art and healing.
