Space missions

First Off Planet Art Gallery

The Moon Gallery strives to collect, document, and deliver the best of humanity and our shared cultural and artistic experiences beyond Earth. We have flown art projects in orbit and have a mission scheduled to reach the Moon by the end of this year.

Open Calls

Moon Gallery invites artists, scientists, engineers, designers, storytellers, and thinkers to become part of a growing space-art community. Through our open calls, we seek visionary proposals that reflect on the future of humanity, culture beyond Earth, and the role of art in space exploration. Each submission is a chance to contribute to a larger conversation — one that transcends borders, disciplines, and orbits.

Moon Mission call for proposals opens soon.

Moon Bound at Brave New Work 2.0

Moon Bound was screened in Santa Barbara, California, for the Brave New Work 2.0 Symposium, held from 1 to 8 October 2026.

 

Thanks to the efforts of Richelle Ellis, a multidisciplinary artist, analog astronaut and artistic researcher, Moon Bound was presented as a multi-screen projection. Richelle contributed to the Moon Bound book and created a microsculpture for the MICROMOON art collection. A multi-screen projection gave the miniature book a monumental scale, with pages of just 1 cm projected so large that they filled the walls.

 

Moon Bound is a miniature artists’ book, assembled from 49 artistic submissions and planned to travel to the lunar south pole at the end of 2026 as part of Griffin Mission One, together with the MICROMOON art collection. Seeing it enlarged on screen invited audiences to engage with the book’s pages and the artistic visions behind them before it leaves Earth.

 

Brave New Work 2.0 is the second annual symposium and public art exhibition exploring cutting-edge innovations shaping the future.

IAC – 77th International Astronautical Congress

Antalya, Turkey, hosted the 77th International Astronautical Congress from October 5th to 9th, 2026.

 

Moon Gallery was honored to give two presentations at the IAC:

– “Moon Gallery and Moon Bound: Arts missions for the lunar surface”
7 October, 15:00.
Presentation by Dr. Barbara Brownie.

– “Moon Bound Exhibition: Global cooperation to stage contemporary space art”
9 October, 10:15.
Presentation by Luis Bernardo Guzmán.

 

During the first session, Dr Barbara Brownie presented the Moon Bound project, sharing its journey from collecting artistic submissions and binding the book to integrating it into the rover, reflecting on conceptual questions and challenges. She also explored the history of humanity’s gaze upon the Moon and discussed how spaceflight and lunar missions have shaped humanity’s fascination with our celestial neighbour.

 

During the second session, Luis Bernardo Guzmán discussed Moon Gallery’s recent exhibition in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. He shared his curatorial perspective on the exhibition, highlighting the significance of each individual and collective artwork on display. Luis reflected on how contemporary space art can reach audiences in regions where this form of artistic expression has not yet been widely explored. He also highlighted key lessons from the exhibition that could inform Moon Gallery’s future projects and help raise global public awareness of space art.

 

We were happy to receive positive feedback across these two sessions. See you next year!
