Join us at Haleʻiwa Beach Park for an installation sharing Waialua’s moʻolelo, mele, and community talk-story.
Put on your slippahs and shorts and join us at the beach park for the dedication of a large-scale installation, followed by an artist and community talk-story, mele, and celebration of the lesser-known stories and histories of Waialua.
Installed throughout the historic 1930s pavilion at Puaʻena, this work features 12 wooden and 36 painted fiberglass sculptures rising from the pavilion’s ruins. Together, the pieces unfold the moʻolelo of Laniwahine, the benevolent moʻo (water guardian) who resides in the sacred ʻUkoʻa and Loko Ea fishponds.
This installation recenters Waialua—often known for its plantation past and surf culture—as a place defined by ancestral presence, abundance, and reciprocal care.
The installation by artists Amber Khan and Jordan Souza is a part of Wahi Pana: Storied Places, the unprecedented initiative featuring art installations across O‘ahu that connect each site with its indigenous, Native Hawaiian mo‘olelo (stories). The project is led by the Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts (MOCA) in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, Aupuni Space, Pu‘uhonua Society, Hawai‘i Contemporary, O‘ahu Visitors Bureau, Bishop Museum, and Hawai‘i Tourism Authority.
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.
The Windward Choral Society presents the tenth annual Gospel Heritage Concert. The concert features WCS artistic director Susan McCreary Duprey, collaborative pianist McCallen Choy, guest vocalists Georgine Stark, bass guitarist Ian Valasek, and percussionist Fred Mariano. Music selections include traditional spirituals, gospel tunes, as well as an audience sing-along. The concert takes place in a new venue at Kailua United Methodist Church on Sunday, February 22, 4:00-5:30pm. A freewill offering will be taken to offset the costs of the performance. No tickets required.
