Biophilia is a collaborative exhibition by Helena Noordhoff and Erik Sullivan, featuring painting, printmaking, and ceramics. The work explores how protective forms in nature act as symbols and metaphors for protection within the human psyche, reflecting processes of adaptation, healing, and transformation.

The public is invited to the opening of the in-person Punahou Carnival Art Gallery, the largest art show in the state. Featuring more than 1,000 artworks by nearly 300 Hawai‘i artists, the gallery includes paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and glass.

A special preview for art enthusiasts will be held Tuesday, Feb. 3, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Bishop Learning Center, Punahou School. This preview precedes the main Punahou Carnival, offering an exclusive first look at the collection. The gallery reopens during the Carnival, from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, and from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m on Saturday, Feb. 7.

The Art Gallery is a highlight of the Punahou Carnival. Planned by the Junior Class of 2027, this year's Carnival theme is “Welcome to the Jungle: Carnival 2026,” infusing the event with a spirit of exploration and adventure. Sales from each art piece will support Punahou Carnival’s fundraising efforts for student financial aid, with proceeds evenly shared between the artists and Punahou.
