Aqua + Culture = Awareness & Action
Project Blue is Altasea at the Port of Los Angeles’ digital platform for content and education resources developing the emerging Blue Economy with visions of an ocean to sustain future generations that also increases youth access to arts and culture.
Flowproject.la’s founder, Cynthia Hirschhorn, is an AltaSea board member who helped develop this educational program and curates The Blue Hour’s interactive art spectacles to merge LA’s Blue and Creative Economies, and amplify the impact of ocean education, research and technology.
Project Blue also presents an annual Blue Hour, merging art, education, innovation and technologies showcasing ocean exploration.
ArtPORT was a proud sponsor of BLUE HOUR 3.
Highlights included special guest Sylvia Earle, with several of the artists discussing their work as well:
