SPACE ART: an evening in the stars will take place on Sunday, August 23rd at the Neu Kirche Contemporary Art Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The event is described as an

experimental and inter-disciplinary event of multi-media art, installations, performance, music, film, & spoken word which explore the realities and aspirations of life in space

It will

feature a mix of installation art, performance, music, film, and spoken word that explores the realities and aspirations of life in space, including the materials of the Apollo program, a voyage to the Red Planet, and the question “How do you make art for aliens?”.

The artist and initiator of this event Dan Wilcox says: “We feel there is a greater discussion going on in the national space agencies, private companies (such as SpaceX), and research laboratories that should involve *everyone*. Humanity heading into space in this century will directly impact our society, so we should all be on board.”
