Hawaii State Art Museum - NEW EXHIBIT - MEN


Human beings have been at the center of creative expression since the very beginning of the history of art. While this includes both genders, there has been more attention and scrutiny aimed at the female form. This exhibition of works from the Art in Public Places Collection puts its focus solely on artistic depictions of men.

The museum cafe, Artizen by MW, and the museum gift shop, HiSAM Gallery Shop x MORI will also be open, with the Dae Han Ensemble (jazz music). The Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum will be hosting a bar with wine and beer. Valet parking will be available at the Richards St. entrance to the building.

Additional First Friday activities in the No. 1 Capitol District building on the ground floor with the HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x Mori: live music with the Dae Han Ensemble, and clay demo with Daven Hee, Jon Vongvichai, and Ashley Huang. Considered among the fastest wheel throwers in the state, ceramic artists Daven Hee and Jon Vongvichai will dazzle and amaze with how quickly they can create cups, bowls, and pots. Award winning ceramic artist Ashley Huang specializes in hand building animals and will bring clay to life right before your eyes by sculpting each beautiful piece by hand.

The museum cafe, Artizen by MW, will also be open.

The Friends of the Hawaii State Art Museum will be hosting a bar with wine and beer.
