Calling Street Artists for Hepatitis C Awareness Campaign

HOUSTON, TX (March 18, 2016) - Hepatitis C, known as Hep C,  is the blood-borne hidden disease afflicting between six and eight million Americans and more than 130 million people worldwide.   To combat this disease and educate Houstonians on how Hep C is contracted, how to avoid it and how to treat it, The Health Museum is partnering with the American Liver Foundation on an awareness campaign.

            The Health Museum is calling for street artists to participate in a creative art competition that culminates at "Social Silence - Hepatitis C, The Hidden Disease" scheduled for May 20-21 at The Health Museum.  The two-day events includes music, presentations, CSI events for kids, Hep C resource groups, organ analysis and demonstrations, street art depicting the many facets of Hepatitis C, and a live graffiti production by artist GONZO247.

            Artists are asked to submit a biography and photos of their previous work by April 4 to Nan Turner, nturner@thehealthmuseum.org. Selected artists will provide their artistic interpretation of Hep C by  May 13.  Twenty applicants will have their art displayed at the Museum with visitors voting on their favorite works.  First prize is a $750 scholarship, second prize is a $500 scholarship and third prize is a $300 scholarship. In addition, the first prize winner’s artwork will be auctioned at the American Liver Foundation Gala set for August, 2016.

            There is no entry fee and the competition is open to all Texas street art/graffiti artists, professional and amateur, who are 18 years or older. For more information, visit www.thehealthmuseum.org or contact Nan Turner at nturner@thehealthmuseum.org or by calling 281-788-9964.

                Celebrating its 20th anniversary, The Health Museum, John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science, is Houston's most interactive science learning center and a member institution of the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. The Health Museum is the most visited museum of its kind in the country totaling more than 180,000 visitor experiences annually, and over 2.6 million visitors and counting since its inception in 1996.  Located in the heart of the city's rich and varied Museum District, The Health Museum's mission is to foster wonder and curiosity about health, medical science and the human body.
