Check out this amazing collaborative artwork project: The Dream Rocket. You create a fiber art panel expressing one of the dream themes, and it is combined with the works of other artists from around the world to wrap a Saturn V rocket. The project’s site says:
Up to 8,000 artworks will be created by individuals from various regions of the world, and then connected side by side to wrap the 365’ Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
The designated theme of the panels, “Dare to Dream”, challenges individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine the future. Perhaps most importantly, individuals are challenged 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.
The creation of the panels has been a catalyst for creativity in health care facilities, libraries, schools, museums, and for individuals. While the Dream Rocket team works on collecting submitted artworks for this giant wrap, they are placing submitted artworks on display in national & international venues up until the time that the Saturn V is wrapped. In just this past year, submitted artworks have or will participate in 42 exhibits and counting.
