JAMESTOWN – The 4th Annual Space Art show will take place in The Forum at Galactic Systems Headquarters on July 16 at 7 p.m. At this time, the Forum is calling for submissions from artists for space related art.

This artistic celebration of space takes place each year during the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission. The artists involved are invited to run wild through the cosmos creating art from robots to spaceships, and science to stars. Artists that work with all types of media and subject matter are encouraged to submit their work, as long as it is somehow space related or inspired. Space themed science fiction inspired works, with both serious and absurd viewpoints are encouraged. Also welcomed are historical tribute artwork and depictions of real space achievements.

There is no limit to the number of works that can be submitted and there are no size restrictions. Submissions must be emailed to contact@galacticsystems.info by July 10.

Past Space Art exhibits have displayed art from all over the United States and world, including Oregon, Louisiana, Mexico, and Spain. In past shows, local artist Gary Robert Peters Jr. has contributed two intriguing works of art, including a historical tribute to Laika, the first dog in space. The other is a more fanciful work, showing an astronaut walking a dog on the moon in a little doggy spacesuit. This is just one of many featured artists who have been a part of this exciting space themed gallery show in Jamestown.

The annual Space Art show is a project of Galactic Systems, LLC. Part of the company’s mission is to advocate for aerospace research and education, by creating a place in the community for scientists and citizens to explore creativity, science and ideas. Leonardo Da Vinci once said “Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world.” Space Art 2014 represents this ideal by creatively advocating for a robust aerospace engineering infrastructure, which is vital to improving the economy, as well as the pace and prevalence of manufacturing in the United States.
