AMARILLO, Texas - TelAve -- This summer, The Citadelle Art Museum is transforming its gallery into a hands-on, evolving art experience with the return of Tape Art. The exhibit, titled "Tape Art: USS Artemis: Attack of the Space Pirates," invites visitors of all ages to pick up a roll of painter's tape and become part of a story that's unfolding right on the walls.

The project began with a three-day summer art camp led by nationally known Tape Artists Michael Townsend and Leah Smith, who helped young artists build a life-sized spaceship—one side of which was left damaged after an imaginary space pirate attack. Camp participants created cardboard laptops, custom space suits, and floating astronauts to begin telling the story of the missing crew.

Now, that story continues—piece by piece—with help from museum guests.

"This exhibit is alive," said museum director Wendie Cook. "Visitors aren't just looking at art. They're adding to it."

Throughout the summer, guests can visit The Citadelle and contribute their own creativity to the mural. Supplies are provided, and no prior art experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to jump in.

The second and third sessions of Tape Art camp will be held July 1–2 and August 5–6, and the exhibit will remain open for public participation during regular museum hours through August.

Whether you're a parent looking for a creative outing or a traveler making a stop in Canadian, this is a rare opportunity to be part of creating something big, imaginative, and joyfully unfinished.
