Poetry Out Loud 2023
Get ready for Poetry Out Loud 2023! The 2022-2023 teachers guides are now available at PoetryOutLoud.org/Teachers-Organizers. Poetry Out Loud seeks to foster the next generation of literary readers by capitalizing on the latest trends in poetry recitation and performance. The program is open to all high school students and builds on the resurgence of poetry as an oral art form, inviting the dynamic aspects of slam poetry, spoken word, and theater into the English classroom. Through Poetry Out Loud, students can master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.

The National Endowment for the Arts and The Poetry Foundation partner with state arts agencies to bring the Poetry Out Loud program and dynamic recitation contest to all 50 states and the US territories.
Each participating teacher/school/organization receives access to free multimedia curriculum materials – a poetry anthology, teachers’ guide, lesson plan ideas, and comprehensive website all aligned to national standards – augmenting their regular curriculum with poetry recitation and a local-level competition. Local-level recitation champions compete to advance to the state and then national levels.

Stay tuned for more details on this year’s program or email Tamara Smith with Honolulu Theatre for Youth for more information (edadmin@htyweb.org).

Art Bento on Hiatus
After many years of successfully administering the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum's Art Bento museum education program, we will be evaluating and restructuring the program during the 2023 Fiscal Year. During this time we will be interviewing all of those involved, including teachers, teaching artists, administrators and students. Our goal is to offer a museum education program that is more inclusive, expanding beyond Oʻahu to better engage students statewide. For those schools who are interested in coming to the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum this year, we will be offering school visits for the School Year 22/23. Please contact hisam@hawaii.gov for more details.

Mark “Boots” Lupenui, “PASSING NOTES: The Kohala Ephemera Project.” Kahilu Theatre Gallery July 21 to August 28, 2022. For the project, Mark identified instrumental members of the Kohala community and created portraits of each person on paper which was given by the individuals themselves. Everyone was asked to provide a piece of original paper that represented their contribution to the community. For example, Hawaiian sailing canoe master navigator Chadd ʻŌnohi Paishon gave Mark some vintage maps he used in his training. Paishon has been a crew member on the Hōkuleʻa and is currently co-leader and Senior Captain of Nā Kālai Waʻa, facilitating educational programs about voyaging history and culture and mentoring students.
