#jwstART
Twenty two artists were selected nationwide to attend the James Webb Space Telescope Artist Event at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. While Webb was under development in the NASA/GSFC cleanroom, they sat directly in front of the Webb telescope and were briefed on the mission by scientists, engineers and other project personnel while they worked; sketching, painting, writing, sewing, playing music. Their work was captured in a travelling art show and online gallery here and provided the seed for having the public submit their Webb inspired art. Instructions on how to submit your artwork and a gallery of over 500 submissions from people all over the world is included below.
