The exhibition Home of the Tigers: McKinley High and Modern Art explores the impact of a single high school on visual art in Hawaiʻi. It brings together work by seven artists who graduated from McKinley High School in the 1920s to the 1960s and went on to define modernism in Hawaiʻi. The artists are Saturo Abe (b. 1926), Raymond Han (1931-2017), Ralph Iwamoto (1927-2013), Imaikalani Kalahele (b.1950), Keichi Kimura (1914-1988), Robert Kobayashi (1925-2015) and John Chin Young (1909–1997). The exhibition also presents work by three artists who were their high school teachers, Minnie Fujita (1918-2018), Charles Higa (1933-2012), and Shirley Russell (1886-1985). While each artist was shaped by their different background and experiences in the art world, Home of the Tigers charts the history of 20th century artistic movements in Hawaiʻi and beyond through the lens of their common origin.

Maui OnStage Education and Youth Program presents - "Once Upon a Crime - The Trial of Goldilocks"

Sponsored by Wave of Harmony Foundation in partnership with The Gilbert and Aileen Kam Chuck Charitable Trust.

*A Maui OnStage Education and Youth Program "Keiki Collaboration" with Pro Arts Playhouse!

Will justice be served in this hilarious fairy-tale courtroom play packed with characters we all know and love? It’s up to YOU… the AUDIENCE, which serves as the jury and determines how the play ends!

Goldilocks is the defendant, on trial for breaking and entering. The plaintiffs are — you guessed it — the three bears. As their lawyers Henny Penny and Tom Thumb go toe-to-toe hoping to prove their respective clients’ cases, other fairy tale characters are called to testify as witnesses, including Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Cow, and Granny. Even the Big Bad Wolf takes the stand, but can any of these witnesses be trusted themselves? Is Goldilocks guilty or innocent?

Join award-winning Big Island author, writing teacher, and former Kilauea eruption manager for an afternoon talking story, reading and signing copies of his new book “Mauna Kea: A Novel of Hawai‘i.” Maile Meyer, founder of Native Books in Honolulu, writes: “Tom Peek’s understanding of place, culture, and current issues is deep and respectful without being heavy-handed.” Susan Najita, Associate Professor of Literature and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies, University of Michigan, calls Tom “a storyteller extraordinaire, cut from an older cloth seldom seen today.”

Each month join local musicians for a genre base workshop. Bring your instrument or borrow.

This is our second year and we are looking forward to providing free music education for years to come. Please enjoy sharing and all the events at BIG (Big Island Guitar)

Unlike any other music gathering we encourage all to come learn and teach. We cover music theory how to chart songs and meet others that share your passion for music…. Heck possibly even form a group! Mahalo .

Our instructor Wago Howard shares the event via YouTube for those who choose the couch tour approach.
