HOUSTON, April 26, 2019<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0See it now!\u00a0Space Center Houston opened a new art installation<\/a><\/u> featuring Charles Schulz\u2019s iconic characters in a new groundbreaking arts initiative launch event. This art initiative is a partnership between Peanuts Worldwide, the Houston Arts Alliance, Houston Parks Board, Space Center Houston<\/a><\/u> and Brookfield Properties designed to bring Houstonians public art re-imaginings of Charles M. Schulz\u2019s beloved, iconic characters.<\/p>\n

To kick-off the launch of the exhibit, Houston-area students and the guests engaged in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities developed by Peanuts to learn about how NASA explores the cosmos, and the beloved character Snoopy made an appearance.<\/p>\n

At the entrance of Space Center Houston, the outdoor art installation features a full-scale International Space Station Training Module wrapped in an original Charlie Brown and Snoopy Motif by artist Kenny Scharf. Entitled \u201cThe Heavens and the Earth<\/strong><\/em>,\u201d the art installation honors NASA\u2019s 50th<\/sup> Anniversary celebrations of Apollo 10. NASA and Peanuts have a longstanding partnership. NASA named the Apollo 10 command and lunar modules \u201cCharlie Brown\u201d and \u201cSnoopy,\u201d respectively. (Apollo 10, which orbited the moon, served as a dress rehearsal for the historic Apollo 11 moon landing in July 1969.)<\/p>\n

Featuring artwork by four of the world\u2019s most acclaimed contemporary artists, the larger-than-life installations will continue on as \u201cThe Heavens and the Earth\u201d Public Art Project with the Houston Arts Alliance Blasts Off, bring Insta-Worthy, Peanuts-inspired creations to Houston\u2019s Public Parks and across the city\u2019s most popular landmarks.<\/p>\n
