In 2009, the IFC launched its current project, the Dream Rocket, which is a large scale collaborative wrap, for which up to 8,000 artworks are being collected from various regions all over the world, and then connected side by side to wrap the 365′ Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. 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.
While the Dream Rocket team works on collecting submitted artworks for this giant wrap, they are placing submitted work on display in national and international venues up until the time that the Saturn V is wrapped. In just this past year, submitted artworks have participated in 44 exhibits and counting.
