Public museum exhibits local artists
Hawaiian culture is expressed in various forms
of dance, food, ‘ohana, and art. These are all celebrated
at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, located at 250 S.
Hotel St., which showcases Hawaiian spirit and heritage as
it is expressed in art. The museum supports many local artists,
coordinates community events, and expresses for the whole
community the essence of Hawaiian culture. In addition to
its upcoming exhibition, Art in Public Places, the museum
sponsors a regular series of programs: Live from the Lawn,
Gallery Talks, and Meet the Artist. These are all great ways
to get involved in the community, learn more about local
culture, and meet new people. [More]

Eddie would go!
A look at the inspiration for big
wave surfing
Two great surfing legends come from Hawai‘i,
Duke Kahanamoku, Olympic Gold Medal swimmer and popularizer
of modern surfing, and Eddie Aikau, who ruled the biggest waves.
While much of the world knows about Duke Kahanamoku, because
of his Olympic and film history, few know about Eddie outside
of the islands and the surfing community, where his story is
kept alive not only through the memories of people who knew
him, but also through the big-wave surfing competition that
bears his name. [More]
