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.
