Mission

 

​The Space for Art Foundation is on a mission of Space~Art~Healing

Uniting a Planetary Community of Children through the Awe and Wonder of Space Exploration and the Healing Power of Art

​

Vision

A world where children experiencing life’s challenges are inspired to imagine and create a positive future for themselves. A future that transcends those challenges, and is brought to life through space and art and an understanding of their role as crewmates here on Spaceship Earth.

​​​

We are –

• Expanding our crew of ‘Artonauts’ - Children creating art as a planetary community from hospitals, refugee centers, orphanages, and schools around the world.

• Creating large-scale, inspirational space-themed art projects.

• Leveraging the collective talents of our global team of artists, astronauts, engineers, and health experts.

• Focusing on the awe and wonder of space exploration.

• Highlighting the connection between personal and planetary health.

• Raising awareness of our role as crewmates here on Spaceship Earth.

​

Our strategy includes –

• Facilitating and implementing space-themed art and wellness programs.

• Awarding scholarships and grants to art students and artists who want to develop their own space-themed 'art and healing' ideas.

• Documenting and sharing our work in support of on-going research in the field of art and wellness.
