- Abstract
Increasingly, the European Space Agency is being asked to support or participate in artistic and cultural events. This paper will provide an updated overview and discussion of the Agency’s involvement in some of the activities in this domain including the organization of space art exhibitions and conferences, creation of a space arts database, setting up a space arts programme, and the study recently launched by ESA into how the European components of the International Space Station could be transformed into a broader, more open arena which would become the subject, canvas or theatre for a wide range of cultural and artistic activities reaching out to the public at large and enabling them to share the human experience of space missions and interact with the sights and sounds of space.
