Honolulu (July 2022) – Downtown Art Center and Hawaii Watercolor Society are proud to present “For the Love of Creating,” a water media and glass art exhibition on display for public viewing from August 2-27, 2022 at Downtown Art Center’s Main Exhibition Space on the second floor of Chinatown Gateway Plaza, at 1041 Nuuanu Ave., Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.  The Hawaii Watercolor Society (HWS) is proud to present the Hawaii Watercolor Society Open Show 2022 Exhibition as a portion of this show.

Invited artists from Pastel Artists of Hawaii and Hawaii Glass will also be on display.  In art, water media is the general term for media that are distinguished from oil or other media by being water-soluble. As a medium, it is much wider than watercolor alone and includes other water-thinned mediums which are waterproof when dry such as acrylics. Water-soluble media allowed for this event included, but were not limited to transparent watercolor, gouache, casein, acrylics, water-soluble crayons and inks.  Juror-selected participants bring years of painting experience and reflect many different styles. There were six categories of awards for this year’s exhibition.  Hawaii Watercolor Society Open Show 2022 award winners include:  The Golden Callus Award for Best in Show “Our Lady of the Forgotten Fields” by Darold Ramelb   Juror’s Award “Sampaguita Vendor” by Jimmy Tablante   The Peggy Hopper/Sunshine Gallery Award “Perfect Day at the Boat Launch” by Dwayne Adams   The Mayfield Rath Award “Pele at Work” by Deborah Pacheco   The Art Source & Design/Hawaiian Graphics/Sam Eden Artist Gear Award “Falling Water” by Liz Corbin   The McKeague & Haley Award “Beautiful Sunset” by Jimmy Tablante    For more information, visit downtownarthi.org or hawaiiwatercolorsociety.org.     About the Downtown Art Center (DAC):  Located in the Chinatown Gateway Plaza building at 1041 Nuʻuanu Ave., Second Floor, the nonprofit Downtown Art Center is an evolving gallery and workshop space for Oʻahu's arts scene.
