Honolulu Hale at Punchbowl and King streets is the venue for the 64th annual member exhibition of the Windward Artists Guild. The juried art show, “Islands of Diversity,” runs through September 11, 2024, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The building itself, designed by Charles Dickey, is a work of art. But we came to see the creations of current visual artists. The awards reception was yesterday afternoon. With 97 pieces on display, I was bound to run into long-lost friends such as Shelley S. M. Miller, who changed her name. I did not recognize her, but she recognized me. Shelley won Honorable Mention for “The Temari Tree.”
DH made this bird’s eye view from the second floor:
Below are my “Rain Fantasy” oil on canvas and “Lava Flows to the Sea” paper collage.
My friend Bernadette Chan submitted her 2D piece along with her ceramics. “Something different,” she said proudly.
DH admired “ʻUkulele” pictured here with its artist George Evan David.
The Susan Rogers-Aregger Best in Show was awarded to “The Dog Days of Summer (A Goddess of the Star Sirius)” by Vanessa McCowan.
As juror Robert Mace wrote, “I truly wish we could have given every work in the exhibit an award, because they are all winners. Keep making art my friends. This world needs it.”
Be well.
