Blue Hour: Ocean Songs took place on September 28, 2024, and was held in our newly renovated Berth 60, the furthest south point at AltaSea with majestic sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. It also celebrated several milestones including our tenth year as an organization and our fifth annual Blue Hour event. This year featured engaging art installations from five talented artists, a moving choral performance by The L.A. Choral Lab, live music from The Classics Los Angeles Dance Band and amazing food from Trani’s Dockside, Miller Butler’s wood-fired pizzas alongside delicious desserts from Sirens by the Sea. The evening brought together a diverse group of scientists, artists, environmental advocates, philanthropists, and community leaders to raise awareness and support for AltaSea’s initiatives that will impact the local, national and global economies.
AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is a nonprofit organization making a lasting mark on the future of Los Angeles and the planet through a unique public-private ocean institute that joins together the best and brightest in exploration, science, business and education. AltaSea is creating an urban, ocean-based research and blue technology innovation campus at the Port of Los Angeles where ocean innovators work together to understand and address current and future threats to our ocean environment. Tenants can enjoy an open workspace featuring their own modular offices and labs within a warehouse shell construction. Additionally, all science and business partners will have full access to the waterfront berths and docks. Hands-on education experiences will provide students an interactive opportunity to collaborate with scientists from around the world.
