Title:
Gallery Space
Summary:
Due to people’s lack of interest in the space program funding has been continually scaled back and there is very little support from the public for giving more money to further our space research and exploration. To stimulate interest in the space program and the solar system we will have a traveling art exhibit showcasing images of the planets and deep space objects.Along with the show we will create a website tied into social media that highlights the beauty and the diversity of outer space.
Problem:
In recent years people’s interest in space and the space program have been on a steady decline. Due to the economy and lack of public support funding for the space program has been continually cut for the last few years. Right now the general populous is just not interested in outer space.
Solution:
People need to be reminded that Outer Space is a beautiful wondrous place. We will start with a traveling art exhibit featuring images of the the solar system and deep space objects, nebulae, other galaxies, etc. At the exhibit people will be able to scan a QR code which will take them to the website where they can learn more about the subject, see more imagery of the subject and vote on their favorite image. The image in the show that get the most votes will then be sold on a commemorative t-shirt available on the website. Aside from the show we will create a website that will have information, dates and news about the show. The website will also feature each image in the show as well as how many votes each image received broken down by city. Users will be able to buy a t-shirt from each show featuring whichever image got the most votes in each particular city. Also included in the site will be a how to section where users can learn how to take images of outer space and an area where they can upload there images. Those images can then be voted on. The images with the most votes will be featured in a future show. We will use social media like Facebook and Twitter to continue to deliver, news, image of the days and any relevant information about the exhibit or the website.
