Dream Rocket art visits NYC

The Dream Rocket invites students to submit art to be included in an exhibit at the 2012 National Art Educators Association Conference in New York City this March. Organizer Jennifer Marsh shares this information:

This exhibit is part of the Dream Rocket project, a global public art project happening at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Dream Rocket Art Project is the first of its scope in the world. For a student to have the opportunity to participate in this project will not only be a learning experience, but offer the student a place in history. The Dream Rocket Project offers the benefits of dynamic cross-curricular art education strategies, national and international collaboration, and an outlet for individual expression.

The designated theme of submissions, “Dare to Dream”, challenges individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine the future. Perhaps most importantly, individuals are asked to imagine their contribution to that future. These individual dreams & aspirations will combine to create a monumental 32,000 sq ft work art, providing a tangible demonstration of the beauty of individuals collaborating to meet universal challenges. Submissions are also being placed on tour and displayed in national & international venues up until the time the Saturn V is wrapped, to date, 42 shows have been organized.

You can see art already chosen for the exhibit in the Dream Rocket flickr stream. And you still have time to enter your (or your student’s) work. The entry deadline for this exhibit is February 15. Get the details.
