Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday! -- Find fresh and local produce/treats in QKC's Center Court area near the stage, elevator, and food court escalator.

Offerings can include unique and staple vegetables, tropical fruits, berries, melons, coconuts, plants, fresh-cut flowers, baked goods, gourmet foods, honey, seasonal delights, and so much more. Discover the flavor of the day!

Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.

April 4-30, 2026
Opening Reception Sunday, April 5, 2026, 6-8pm

We’re excited to present Stillness in Motion: An Exploration in Pinhole Photography, a group film photography exhibition curated by Jana Uyeda. Experience a collection of dreamy, imaginative images captured through long exposures—where time, light, and motion come together in beautifully unexpected ways. Come immerse yourself in this unique visual journey.

Photographers include:
Alex Yates @pinholista
Brendan Comey @thatdarkroomlife
Greg Malais @blobmatters
Jana Uyeda @jana_obscura
LisaMarie Brems
Monica Smith @monismithphotography
T E Schlemmer @the_schlem

A pinhole camera is a simple, lensless device that uses a tiny aperture—known as a pinhole—to create an image. Essentially, it’s a lightproof box with a small hole on one side. Light from a scene passes through this opening and projects an inverted image onto the opposite surface, a phenomenon known as the camera obscura effect. The size of the projected image depends on both the distance between the subject and the pinhole, and the distance between the pinhole and the surface where the image appears.

A Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is observed on the last Sunday of April, every year.

Come see for yourself the Beauty of Pastel in an exhibit sponsored by Pastel Artists of Hawaii (PAH). The exhibit, open to all pastel artists statewide, will be juried by Terrilynn Dubreuil, She is an internationally recognized “Master Circle
Pastellist with IAPS (International Association of Pastel Societies), a juried Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA), Signature member of Pastel Society of Maine,” among others…

PAH is a Hawaii-wide group of artists who produce works using soft, sometimes known as dry, pastels. The pieces must consist of at least 80% soft pastel. Used for hundreds of years by the likes of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-August Renoir, soft pastels are nothing more than pigment (or color) held in a stick form by a minimum amount of binder, allowing the artists many ways of applying and manipulating the color.

Scenes from Hawaii tend to feature prominently in PAH paintings, but you can also see portraits, still life, and maybe even a few abstracts. Come see some views of the islands and more through the loving eyes of these local artists.

Welcome to The Super Hawaiian Circus, where tradition meets modern marvels in an electrifying spectacle of boundless energy, daring stunts, and aerial acrobatics! Step right up and prepare to be dazzled by a fusion of classic circus charm and cutting-edge entertainment.

Painters and ceramicists collide in "Forms of Voids." Two local artists—painter Kloe Kang and ceramicist Suzanne Wolfe—explore the symbolic power of the bowl, bridging the gap between ethereal painting and tactile clay.

After first collaborating in 2007 at the Honolulu Academy of Arts (Linekona), Kang and Wolfe reunite for a shared investigation of one of humanity's most elemental objects. The exhibit uses the simple form of a "bowl" to explore complex themes of identity and physical reality.

In this renewed partnership, the artists transition from sharing a studio to sharing a conceptual anchor. Kang’s paintings function as "visual pronouns" exploring the ephemeral state of being, while Wolfe’s ceramic forms remain rooted in material reality, layered with intricate text and imagery. It is a compelling look at how local artists collaborate and evolve across different mediums over decades.

Come enjoy an hour of delightful music presented by the West Hawaii Woodwind Quintet at the Lutheran CHurch in Kona (at the makai end of Lako St.) on Saturday, April 10, at 6 pm. Admission is free.

This performance is part of the Kamuela Philharmonic Small-Ensemble Program, “Bringing Live Music to the Communities Around the Island.” Their program will feature a lovely late romantic quintet by August Klughardt and a medley of delightful short works to celebrate the coming of Spring by composers such as Gershwin, Joplin, Elgar, and more!

The quintet members are: Barbara Coffman (flute); Robbie Brown (clarinet); Jessica Dahlke (horn); John Lundgren (bassoon); and Peter Bosted (oboe).

Artist-in-residence | Known as the "Polynesian Luther Vandross," Tatofi's music, blends traditional and modern elements, resonating with a broad audience. He has received multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, highlighting his significant contributions to Hawaiian music. Dedicated to preserving Hawaiian culture, Tatofi uses his platform to promote the Hawaiian language and traditions, bringing the aloha spirit to a global audience through his captivating performances.

Movies are back with films everyone will love! Grab some hot, freshly popped popcorn or a sweet treat from our concessions, kick back, and enjoy a fun, relaxing night together.
