Moon Joy June FAQ

What is Moon Joy June?

To keep the Moon Joy alive after the Artemis II mission, NASA is hosting a month-long art challenge on Instagram, Threads, and Tumblr. Each week during the month of June 2026, NASA will provide a prompt to inspire participants to make and share their artistic creations.

What are the prompts?

There are four prompts total, and each one will be for a different week in June 2026:

Is this a contest?

No. This is an art challenge where participants are encouraged to share their creations online. There is no prize associated with participating.

On what social platforms will NASA host this challenge?

You can participate on Instagram, Threads, and Tumblr.

How can I share my art during Moon Joy June?

Instagram users can share their creations as part of an “Add Yours” story. Go to the @NASAArtemis Instagram account on Friday each week for the new “Add Yours.” Threads users can share their artwork to a topic called “Artemis Art Show.” Tumblr users can share their art with the hashtag #ArtemisArtShow.

What kind of art can I submit?

The sky is (not) the limit! We encourage all forms of art, including but not limited to: paintings, drawings, sculptures, dances, music, animations, nail art, latte foam art, poetry, fashion. Choose your favorite medium and share it with us.

We strongly encourage you to keep your Moon joy creations family-friendly so that Moon Joy can be enjoyed by all.

Does the artwork have to be Artemis-related? Do I need to follow the prompts?

No, and no. The prompts exist to curate a theme for each week and inspire creativity. The prompts are intentionally broad so we can see as many of your incredible interpretations as possible. That said, it is not necessary to follow the prompts to participate.
