In 2009, the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC) launched its latest endeavor, THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT (DRP). Thousands of artworks from various regions of the world are being collected. Eventually, all submissions will be connected side by side to wrap the skeleton of a 385’ Space Launch System (SLS) replica and will be placed on temporary exhibit at locations around the United States. A project inspired by NASA's mission to Mars and beyond.

On December 6, 2017 the below DRP project was cancelled due to a verity of complications. However, we had a blast working on it for 8 years. Keep on dreaming big folks!

→Originally, IFC’s intent was to wrap the Saturn V Moon rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL in May - June 2015, however in October 2014, DRP participants voted to pivot the project to reflect NASA’s dream rocket, the SLS. New exhibit locations and dates will be announced in the months to come.

Figure 1, Side A, In-Progress (each square is one submission) The selected themes for submissions encourage individuals to expand beyond the present state of the world and imagine our future. Perhaps most importantly, individuals are challenged to imagine their contributions to that future. These individual dreams & aspirations will combine to create a monumental 32,000 sq ft work of art, providing a tangible demonstration of the beauty of individuals collaborating to meet universal challenges. All submitted artworks will be placed on display and continue traveling to venues up until the time that the SLS replica is wrapped.

2009 TREE PROJECT Huntsville, Alabama The Tree Project engaged more than 8,000 students, 62 schools, and quilters from 23 countries and 39 states. Participants submitted over 14,000 handmade leaves for the canopy, mimicking the shape of a live oak. All leaves were photographed and posted online for the public to enjoy. The Tree Project currently resides in its permanent home, the rotunda of the Earlyworks Children's Museum in Huntsville, Alabama. Most participants submitted progress photographs for inclusion in our online platforms such as our website, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.

2008 GAS STATION WRAP Syracuse, New York More than 2,500 grade school students in 29 states and individuals from 17 countries worked together to cover a former Citgo station. Our goal was (and still is) to engage the public; we support innovative projects that bring individuals together in efforts that strengthen everyone’s sense of community. Projects that allow for active involvement from a community encourage individuals to become invested in the project as a whole and allow them to see how their own contributions can make a difference.

Founded in 2008 as a 501(c)(3) and with roots in Huntsville, Alabama and Topeka, Kansas, the International Fiber Collaborative develops community programs that create collaborative opportunities in the arts and civic engagement. IFC programs link learning and creativity in the arts to science, math, engineering, and the humanities. We have successfully generated participation from individuals, schools, and groups in approximately 515 cities, 50 states, and 19 countries. Public programming has been a catalyst for creativity in health care facilities, libraries, schools, museums, and other locations, and has generated about 18,528 art submissions collected from an estimated 13,058 individuals as part of three major projects.
