Potluck Opening Reception and Silent Auction: April 23, Friday, 5:30 - 8pm
An exhibition by HFAC youth in celebration of Earth Day.
We can all learn through the eyes of a child. At HFAC, we are constantly amazed by the creative talents of our young artists as they share their work and experiences about the world in which we live. This exhibition centers around the theme of collaborating with nature and addresses the environment with local and global perspectives. DMAC youth instructors Gerald Lucena, Miho Morinoue, Tomo Nakazato, Janny Pruden, and Yarrow Lutz (NYC) along with their students work together to actively construct a rich understanding of our world through the creative process and strive to create a fun, safe, and inspiring working environment that observes our community, in all its diverse richness, as an extension of the classroom/studio. A silent auction will be held during the exhibition with proceeds helping to support our youth programs. Children's art need not be confined to a refrigerator door, come celebrate the arts in your community with style. The pot-luck opening reception is free to the public.

Roll out the green carpet for HFAC's own runway project. Dumpster divas wanted to rethink, reuse, and recycle to transform trash into fabulous couture fashion. Open to all artists of all ages, the challenge is to create wearable art using 100% recycled materials. This is a great opportunity to address our local concerns about garbage and living on an island and to make conscious efforts to reduce waste in our environment. So start gathering and designing your glamorous garbage. All proceeds will support DMAC's Garden Project. For more information contact Gerald Lucena at 808-322-3362.
ANNUAL FACULTY EXHIBITION
Date: May 21 - July 3, 2010
(Normal Business Days)
Admission: Free!
Opening Reception and Silent Auction: May 21, Friday, 6:00 - 8:30pm
An annual showcase of HFAC's teaching staff, guest, and resident artists. Each artist will show works from his or her current studio investigations. In conjunction with the reception, we will be holding an 'auctionette' featuring the works of our emerging and established artists at great prices and all proceeds benefit DMAC Programs. For art students, seeing instructors' professional work affords an understanding of the ways in which classroom activities are directly linked to creative practice. For the rest of the community, the group show provides access to work that is produced here but most often seen elsewhere, nationally and internationally.
