NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center invited artists of all kinds to a special viewing event to be inspired by the giant, golden James Webb Space Telescope mirror. The event took place on November 2, 2016, and was attended by twenty-four artists who represented a range of artistic media and styles, such as watercolor, 3D-printed sculpture, silk screening, acrylics, sumi-e, comics, letterpress, woodwork, metalwork, jewelry making, fiber art, ink, mural painting, kite-making, tattooing, scientific illustration, poetry, songwriting, and video making. The artists spent hours on site, sketching, painting, taking photos, and filming videos. Some finished their pieces while at the event while others went home with ideas and sketchbooks full of notes. The art created at the event is hosted on their Flickr account.
