Discover how Hawaiʻi and the Pacific are preparing for tomorrow’s challenges today. The IAEM Region 9 Symposium brings together community leaders, public safety professionals, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and resilience experts for two days of engaging discussions on disaster preparedness, climate resilience, public safety, and community recovery. Whether you work in emergency management or simply want to learn how to help build a stronger, safer Hawaiʻi, this event offers valuable insights, networking opportunities, and practical ideas you can apply in your community. Join us August 11–12 at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi in Honolulu for “Shared Responsibility, Collective Resilience.”

Animals, both real and imagined, are integral to Asia Pacific origin stories, religious stories, myths, epics, folktales, and village scenes, often bearing symbolic significance such as good luck, prosperity, protection, and abundance. FAUNA features artwork from the East-West Center Collection that highlights animals of the land, sky, and waterways. These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam. Art mediums featured include calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, puppets, sculpture, textiles, and woodcarving. This imagery reminds us of the interdependence and interconnectedness among animals, people, and the environment.

Artists statement: Over the last few years, I've explored and photographed the waters surrounding Oʻahu with my Nikonos V, documenting the marine life and quiet moments I've encountered while freediving. I also photograph shells I've gathered from the same waters, extending the story of the ocean from beneath the surface to the traces it leaves behind. Together, these images move beyond the camera, allowing the natural world to remain part of each piece long after the photograph is taken.

Each piece begins as a photograph. I then transform the image into a large digital negative, which is contact printed onto hand-coated fine art paper and exposed in sunlight. One piece in this exhibition remains in its original Prussian blue state, while the others are toned using locally sourced botanicals.

The botanicals used to transform the prints are all sourced in Hawaiʻi and include noni leaves, coffee, haole koa bark, banana bracts, and hibiscus. Because each botanical reacts differently with the chemistry of the print, every piece develops in its own way, making each final work unique.

This collection is created through the natural elements of Hawaiʻi at every stage of the process—from the ocean where the photographs were made, to the sun that exposed each print, to the botanicals that transformed them. It is a body of work rooted in place, shaped by both intention and the quiet unpredictability of nature.

Discover the artistry, beauty, and soul of Hawaii’s Woodshow — where master craftsmen transform island-grown woods into breathtaking works of art. From bold contemporary pieces to timeless traditional craftsmanship, this celebrated exhibition brings together Hawaii’s finest wood artists for a vibrant showcase of creativity, culture, and aloha.

Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Closed Mondays.

Come on over and join the fun—play Hanafuda with your fellow community members! We’re excited to let you know that after a summer break, we’re back with this program.

Continuing to make musical history with every sold out performance around the world, legendary pop duo Air Supply is riding the wave of an eventful banner year in 2026, with concerts across North America, Australia, South America, Europe and Asia, a biopic in the works, an impending Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and – brace yourselves, devoted Airheads - A Matter of Time, their first studio album in 15 years.

Released to coincide with Air Supply’s incredible 50th anniversary as a duo, A Matter of Time caps an historic career that compares to the Beatlesque feat of five consecutive Top Five Singles (“Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am”). During their early 80’s run, they sold a collective total of 20 million copies of their first three albums (Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever) and the 1983 Greatest Hits collection and achieved multi-million radio plays for five of their hits, including “Sweet Dreams” and the Jim Steinman-penned “Making Love Out of Nothing At All.”
