Blue Hour 3: The Warehouse
on October 8, 2022
Event Program
- Blue Hour connects science, culture, and community by combining art and technology to tell the story of the emerging Blue Economy.
- Blue Hour 3: The Warehouse will celebrate the ocean through various art installations spread throughout Berth 60 – a 60,000 square foot warehouse – on the AltaSea campus.
- With over a dozen artists and organizations participating, this year’s event also exemplifies STEAM education for students of all ages, showcasing artists and art schools exploring some of the same issues as the scientists and college labs featured at AltaSea.
