Warp-speed ahead! The dA Center for the Arts has called on artists
from all dimensions to bring forth their other worldly art for all
earthlings to see. Join everyone from Buck Rogers to Han Solo to
see what has landed at the dA Gallery for July.
Curator Rolo Castillo’s first inspiration for a space themed
show came from friend Joanne Pyle mentioning that her late father,
Roger Coulombe, worked on the Apollo missions and she was in possession
of hundreds of original slides that she wished she could do something
with. Castillo was interested in the quest and henceforth dA Space
Show.

A performance art event, the launching of A.S. Ashley’s,
THE SPACE SHIZZLE, APOLLO NUMBER II (Houston, The Bagel Has Landed!),
will take place at the dA. Standby for countdown.
