OWC is the Platinum Sponsor for the 2019 Youth Art Competition culminating in the August 17 SciArt Exchange event in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OWC today announced its sponsorship of SciArt Exchange\u2019s<\/a> Humans in Space Art celebration. The multimedia, 360-degree show is being held to recognize the 2019 Youth Art Competition artwork and acknowledge the winning artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following closely on the heels of the 50th<\/sup>anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, the Humans in Space art celebration event will consist of a reception and immersive show highlighting artwork created by children 10 \u2013 18 years old, from 36 countries around the world. The works of art are meant to educate about the future of space exploration and celebrate the fact that individuals worldwide are preparing to return to the Moon to explore, live and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by Blake Lewis<\/a>, runner-up on American Idol Season Six, the exciting event will take place from 6:30 \u2013 8:00pm at the Los Angeles VORTEX Dome<\/a>. Many of the Los Angeles-based final judges will be in attendance that evening, including retired NASA Scientist Raj Sareen, contemporary artist Alan Chin, National Geographic Mars<\/em> writer and producer Mickey Fisher, and more. Winning works of art will be announced during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOWC is thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in this event, to work with SciArt Exchange and promote artwork and space exploration,\u201d said OWC Founder & CEO Larry O\u2019Connor. \u201cWe at OWC pride ourselves on supporting educational initiatives and our mission for decades now literally has been to allow creative minds to get the most from their technology, to push their work to the very limits. This contest and event celebrate exactly that, and we are excited to be involved. Onward and upward!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
