Join us on for First Friday with the North Shore Ramblers & New Exhibit Voyaging: The Art of Wayfinding.

Let's get the summer going with the North Shore Ramblers at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum on First Friday, June 5, 2015. Giving us a broad sampling of bluegrass music, The North Shore Ramblers will be at HiSAM blending styles of Scottish, Irish, English and Afri- can music for some knee-slapping, foot-stomping musical fun. Let Neal Snyder (guitar and vocals), Jeb Wiemer (gui- tar and vocals), Virginia Hayes (fiddle and vocals) and Bob Hayes (bass and vocals) transport you to the back holler hoedowns of Appalachia.

New Exhibit Voyaging: The Art of Wayfinding.

Voyaging: The Art of Wayfinding is a new exhibition. The exhibit will feature a selection of maritime art from the Art in Public Places Collection of the Hawai`i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, including work by Herbert "Herb" Kawainui Kāne, co-founder of the Polynesian Voyaging Society.

When you walk into HiSAM's Turnaround Gallery for the new exhibition "Voyaging: The Art of Wayfinding" you see a simple sign and a single koa wood paddle.

Enter the exhibition and you enter into a world of Polynesian discovery, open oceans and a time when canoes, not jet planes, connected the islands of the Pacific. The exhibition, curated by the SFCA's Senior Exhibit Specialist James Kuroda, includes 28 artworks carefully selected from the Art in Public Places Collection.

The exhibition uses paintings, sculptures, prints, photos and textiles to tell the story of Polynesian wayfind- ing - navigating the ocean using natural signs including birds, wind patterns, ocean currents, and the stars and planets of the night sky.
