Upcoming Main Gallery Exhibition

Opening Reception: First Friday, February 7

The Sixteenth Annual Survey Exhibition sponsored by Pacific New Media Foundation (PNM) will be held in person at Downtown Art Center. The exhibition will also have an online component, available from February 15, 2025.

This year’s exhibition will showcase two components:

A juried selection of individual images from artists in Hawai‘i.

Juried portfolios, consisting of 8-10 images on a theme, accompanied by an artist’s statement. Some winning portfolios will be exhibited physically at DAC, while others will be featured online.

A new category,

Friends of Pacific New Media

, has been introduced for PNM community members outside of Hawai‘i who have taken PNM classes in the past three years, allowing them to submit portfolios for the online component.

This exhibition is open to all photographers in Hawai‘i, using any photographic medium, including analog, digital, color, black-and-white, alternative processes, and mixed media. The juror for this year’s exhibition is Ann M. Jastrab, Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA. For more information, visit

Upcoming Courtyard Gallery Exhibition

Ed Greevy: Philosopher, Traveler, Photographer

Featuring Photographic Prints from “Haunani-Kay Trask: Fierce Warrior”

On View February 6-28, 2025

Downtown Art Center is proud to host an exhibition of special portraits made by

Ed Greevy

of his friend and collaborator, Professor Haunani-Kay Trask. These photographs track their evolving friendship and clearly suggest the work they did together in later years on books that showcased their mutual passion for justice and righting the wrongs of the past. These photographs are special in another way, too – they were printed by Ed in a darkroom, images brought to life in trays of developer and the process stopped with fixer when it blossomed into the image that he had envisioned in his mind’s eye. That makes these prints special in a way that Ed would have appreciated, being the careful, highly demanding photographer that he was. So this is an exhibit about two fierce warriors – a leader of a people who demanded justice with the touch of a poet, and an artist who used his camera to tell the story of the struggle.
