The 2021 Annual Exhibition continues…

There are two more weeks to experience our 2021 Annual Juried Exhibition — 78 diverse print works by 44 artists from around the state of Hawaii. The exhibit is split between two venues: our studio on Bethel Street, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11-3; and Art & Letters Nuuanu, open 11-5 on the same days. Drop-ins are welcome in both locations but you can also make a reservation specifically for our studio if you’re coming with a group and want to make sure we can accommodate you in our small space (5 maximum). Vaccination is required for entry, so bring your card, or better yet use the state’s SMART Health Card. Please help spread the word!

2021 Gift Print

There are still a few prints available from the 2021 Gift Print edition by Kamran Samimi, you can purchase one here. The Gift Print project, running continuously since 1933, is an important piece of our mission of promoting the culture of printmaking in Hawaii. It’s also a fundraiser, and great way for our members and collectors to show support for that mission while getting great art at a very good price. It was a pleasure to work with Kamran, who I’ve known for a long time, starting as a student at UH Manoa, and who I admire as an astute and focused artist with a singular vision. I recently sat in conversation with him and recorded this video, where he explains some of the inspiration behind his print Resilience.
