Space for Art: New exhibit displays artistic side of astronauts, NASA workers [i]When people think of the equipment astronauts take to space, clean white spacesuits, technical checklists and science apparatus may come to mind. But what they probably don't think of are bagpipes, quilting kits and colorful space garments hand-painted by pediatric cancer patients. All of those however, were launched into space and are now the focus of a museum exhibit curated by a former NASA astronaut-turned-artist. "Space for Art," which debuted Tuesday (Jan. 25) at Space Center Houston, the visitor center for the Johnson Space Center in Texas, highlights the connection between artistry and spaceflight, and how those two disciplines blend within one community.[/i]
