the universe as a whole is God's art gallery that he wants us to see and explore on our own. What is everyone's thought on that?
Too broad. The universe as a whole is a lifeless and colorless emptyness.
I think from our perspective, a better art project would be just the Earth.

The black bits are there for contrast. What color would you like the background of the universe to be, beige?
No, a black background is fine; its the lack of much going on in our visual spectrum that makes me think the Universe as a whole isn't much of a God's Art Project for us. At least, compared to the Earth and all its glory.

You're right, the universe as a whole isn't too visually interesting. But perhaps God has different definitions of "art" and "beauty" than humans - especially as He probably doesn't depend on sense organs like "eyes" and "hands" the way we do.
Sure, perhaps anything, but the OP did seem pretty anthropocentric to me.
Also, I'm quite pleased to have found this thread, in particular because I've always thought charts of isotopes of the elements - like this one - look just like a stroke from some celestial paintbrush:
Aren't you Begging the Question there? It doesn't look like a paintbrush stroke anymore than it looks like a skid mark
