“Creatures and Characters” exhibit
Opens Friday, August 4, 2023. The exhibit highlights a variety of narrative artworks from the Art in Public Places Collection of the Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA). Through a diverse mix of media and artistic approaches, the depictions of creatures and characters suggest stories and ideas that unfold in surprising, unusual, and amusing ways.

The forty-four artworks by thirty-nine artists include “Mexican Mother and Child” by Jean Charlot and “Phyllis Dobson” by Diego Rivera. Both of these artworks were gifted to the state collection. View additional photos and a full list of artists on the SFCA website: sfca.hawaii.gov/exhibit-creatures-and-characters-at-the-state-art-museum.
