NASA restarts art program with New York murals aimed at Artemis Generation

As NASA works to return astronauts to the moon, the space agency is resurrecting an Apollo-era program aimed at communicating the cultural significance of its missions.

A new era for the NASA Artist's Cooperation Program, or NASA Arts Program as it came to be known, has begun with two space-themed murals now on public view in New York's Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan. Created in cooperation with the Hudson Square Business Improvement District, the two, colorful side-by-side murals titled "To the Moon, and Back," were painted by the New York-based team of Geraluz and WERC.
