BURBANK The Glendale Art Association (GAA) launches its “Creative Visions” art show at the Betsy Lueke Creative Arts Center in Burbank on the same date as the scheduled launch of NASA’s Artemus 2 rocket, which will swing around the moon and back. Guests of the Burbank art show can meet the 30 artists on Feb 6, 2026 between 7pm to 9pm, and awards will be presented to various dynamic artists who work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, photography, alcohol ink and mixed media.
Appropriately, artist Rebecca Mate is showing her latest acrylic painting called “Rocket Gallery,” unusual from its purposeful tilt (to enhance the weightlessness) to its subject matter of sending art into space via a rocket.
Last year, Mate saw her husband taking a photo of a woman with a gorgeous color of blue hair.
Mate said, “Her eyes lit up when she found out I was an artist, and my eyes lit up when I found out she wanted to take art into space. She’s a real visionary.”
The blue-haired lady known as Lady Rocket, Eva Blaisdell. Is a pioneer in the world of empowering stakeholders in the new space economy. She wants to bring notoriety to the Arts and artists by sending NFTs of art into space– just one of many Space Assets for collectors.
Mate’s painting includes a nod to Lady Rocket with its blue-haired astronaut and her caring passion for Earth and the environment, a nod to Mate’s 26-year-long promotion of a World Art Day (now falling on DaVinci’s birthday, April 15th, as proclaimed by the United Nations) and a nod to Mate’s original technique of putting multiples of the word “art” to give texture to backgrounds. Mate said, “Obviously I couldn’t paint an NFT, so I just plastered the walls of the rocket with paintings. Art is an integral part of our culture so don’t leave the planet without it!”
“Rebecca Mate has an invitation for her art to go into space,” said Lady Rocket, “with adequate collectors and sponsors.”
End.
