CAPTURING MOMENTS at SPACE ART DAY

Space Art Day brings people together to celebrate the power of art, creativity, and space exploration on Florida’s Space Coast. Our mission is to showcase original space-inspired artwork, support accomplished and commissioned artists, and create engaging experiences that inspire curiosity through the intersection of art, science, and space exploration.

Joining us are International Space Station resident and spacewalker Nicole Stott will be world-renowned space artist Chris Calle, former NASA illustrator Don Gillespie, concept science artist E. Lee Wilson, and former NASA spacesuit technician and watercolor artist Ron Woods. Together, these distinguished artists bring unique perspectives shaped by NASA, human spaceflight, science, and the history of America’s space program.

This special space art exhibition and sales event in Cape Canaveral Florida, benefits the nonprofit American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame and will feature special activities with event partners Nicole Stott’s Space for Art Foundation and Cristina Korp’s Space for a Better World.

One of the signature experiences of Space Art Day will be an exclusive luncheon with astronaut Nicole Stott, where guests will hear firsthand about her experiences living and working aboard the International Space Station, including the extraordinary story of creating watercolor artwork while in space.

Discover original space art, meet the artists behind the work, support the American Space Museum, and experience a one-of-a-kind celebration of art and space exploration on Florida’s Space Coast.
