The Art Renewal Center selects “Living Water” as finalist in the 17th International ARC Salon Competition. The ARC received over 5,000 entries from 87 countries with approximately 24% of entries chosen as finalists. This year, all winners, honorable mentions, finalists and semi-finalists will also be included in the Lunar Codex, “Polaris Collection”. Art images will be laser-etched on nickel microfiche and/or digitized on terabyte memory cards and enclosed in a time capsule on the Griffin lunar lander, launched by SpaceX, and placed on the Moon in perpetuity. The Lunar Codex is a set of time capsules launched on three NASA-related missions, including the work of 7,000 creatives. It will be the first significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in 50 years.
