International Moon Day is celebrated on July 20 every year to mark the anniversary of the day when the first humans, US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon as part of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. To celebrate the day, our 1st standard students were given the full history fo the mission.
We also announced the exciting news that our students artwork would be following the space explorers as part of a lunar art exhibition. The next generation of space exploration and development is kicking off with billions being poured by governments and the private sector exploring the future of technological and economic advancement in space. LunARC is part of the NASA-inspired Lunar University that believes space exploration and development should be diverse and inclusive.
They invited Snehalaya to submit our beneficiaries’ artworks for the first Art Gallery on the Moon. A compilation of our artworks joined with others from around the world to be sent, digitally, to the surface of the Moon on 15 January 2025 on the lunar lander Blue Ghost.
Launched in partnership with LifeShip, LunARC’s historic art gallery features tens of thousands of submissions from over 40 countries, constituting a groundbreaking testament to inclusion and creativity.
The gallery showcases artwork from individuals historically excluded from frontiers, now celebrated as pioneers in humanity’s next great leap. This is more than art—it’s an invitation for people everywhere to see themselves as part of the space conversation and to step boldly into this shared future.
“This mission is a literal moonshot, placing those historically excluded from space exploration at the forefront as pioneers,” said Topher Wilkins, co-founder of LunARC. “By sending their visions to the Moon, we’re making ‘Space for All’ a reality, inspiring those who contributed—and countless others like them—to believe in their agency to shape humanity’s future in space.”
Our children's creative designs were based on our own brief of:
A day in the life...
The Moon
My India
