The Dream Rocket Project

This exhibit features a sampling of fiber art from girl scouts from all over the nation who are participating in this year's International Fiber Collaborative's Dream Rocket Project.  Up to 8,000 artworks are being collected from various regions of the world and then connected side by side to wrap the 365' Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntisville, Alabama in May and June of 2014.

The designated theme of the panels, "Dare to Dream", challenges individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine the future. Perhaps most importantly, individuals are challenged to imagine their contribution to that future. These individual dreams and aspirations will combine to create a monumental 32,000 sq. ft. work of art, providing a tangible demonstration of the beauty of individuals collaborating to meet universal challenges.

The International Fiber Collaborative (IFC) was founded by Ms. Jennifer Marsh in response to the growing need within her community for supplemental arts education for public schools, community arts, and as an outlet for individuals around the world to find common ground. Using the arts as a vehicle for learning, collaboration, and inspiration, the IFC continues to address the increasing needs of society, communities, and individuals.
