SIX of my paintings, Secure the Perimeter, The Skeptic, Charmed, Serenity Prayer (sold), The Orange Hoodie (sold)
and Miss Magnolia and the Red Stain (sold)
will be included in the Lunar Time Capsule
and joining NASA’s scientific payloads on
Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission One sometime in July 2021.

physicist Dr. Samuel Peralta.

Approximately 1200 artworks, books and one Artificial Intelligence-created project are digitally included in this time capsule to be archived on the moon via Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander, traveling on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket.

How did my works get invited to make this historic ride? They were all included in various Poets/Artists Magazines over the years, and that was one of the many places
Dr. Peralta looked when choosing art for the moon…
right place at the right time!
Three of these historic works are sold, but the other three, pictured here, are still available.
Check ’em out at my online shop now, under the category, Art to the Moon!

Three Historic Announcements
Judy Takács achieves Signature Status with American Women Artists
With its mission of 25 Museum Shows in 25 Years, the American Women Artists organization is unique in its approach to advocating for women artists. I was proud to have achieved Associate with Distinction Status a few years back, and now have moved up to Signature Status with this esteemed organization.
Judy Takács Elected as Member of Historic Salmagundi Club in New York City
This is so special because I basically grew up in art hearing about the Salmagundi Club in New York from my Portrait Teacher at the Cleveland Institute of Art, José Cintron. He spoke of it with a reverence for the artistic giants of portraiture who have also been members since it began in 1871. William Merrit Chase, Norman Rockwell, Childe Hassam, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle…even Louis Comfort Tiffany. The Salmagundi Club positioned itself at that lovely crossroads between narrative, representational art and illustration, at a time when that was going out of favor, they carried the torch.
Judy Takács Elected as Full Member of the Historic Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club
Catharine Lorillard Wolf was a major collector and patron of the arts at the turn of the last century. The CLWAC was established to honor her legacy. Thrilled to announce that I am the newest elected member of this prestigious and selective 122 year old Organization.
