Thank you to the thousands of visitors who came to Hoʻomaluhia and visited the gallery to see the show! It was a very good show with a lot of wonderful experiences for the artists involved, and we hope for our visitors as well! Our next show will be in October 2025, same place, Ho’omaluhia. This is extremely unusual. We feel very lucky to show twice this year at one of the best gallery spaces on the island!

The juror for this show was accomplished local painter Lynne Boyer who also just happens to be a two-time world surfing champion. Quite an impressive set of accomplishments! She chose awards for our guild that we would like to document in this post.
