Show Notes

“The Artist and The Astronaut” is an award-winning documentary film that details the lives of sculpture artist Pat Musick and Apollo astronaut Jerry Carr. Director Bill Muench created it over four years of interviews with the couple and numerous other Apollo astronauts, NASA directors, other artists, art historians and authors. Composer Todd Hobin crafted its eclectic score.

The documentary will make its Arkansas premier 7 p.m. Friday, May 19 at the Walton Arts Center as a part of Artosphere, where a Q&A session with Muench and Hobin will take place afterward.
