Workshop on Space Artists’ Residencies and Collaborations
February 10–12, 2005

The workshop brings together a limited number of invited participants to focus on the tasks of 1) writing a document to prepare for space agencies such as NASA, ESA, JAXA, etc. concerning Space Artists' Residencies and Collaborations within their institutions; 2) to identify topics that will serve as the basis of an agenda for an International Conference on Space Art to be held one year later.
