17th International ARC Salon 2025 and TO THE MOON!
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.
