Human beings have been at the center of creative expression since the very beginning of the history of art. While this includes both genders, there has been more attention and scrutiny aimed at the female form. This exhibition of thirty-three works from the Art in Public Places Collection puts its focus solely on artistic depictions of men.

The museum cafe, Artizen by MW, and the museum gift shop, HiSAM Gallery Shop x MORI will also be open, with live entertainment including jazz music by the Dae Han Ensemble and a clay demo with Daven Hee, Jon Vongvichai, and Ashley Huang. Considered among the fastest wheel throwers in the state, ceramic artists Daven Hee and Jon Vongvichai will dazzle and amaze with how quickly they can create cups, bowls, and pots. Award winning ceramic artist Ashley Huang specializes in hand building animals and will bring clay to life right before your eyes by sculpting each beautiful piece by hand. The Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum will be hosting a bar with wine and beer. Valet parking is available at the Richards St. entrance to the building.

Artists in the exhibit: Satoru Abe, Bumpei Akaji, Rick Allred, August Becker, Carol Bennett, Jean Charlot, Margaret Ezekiel, Francis Haar, Allen Hori, Robin Kaye, Kenneth Kerslake, Oldrich Kulhanek, Wayne Levin, Belinda Ling, Huc Mazelet Luquiens, Susan Martin Maffei, Melinda Morey, John Takami Morita, Ben Norris, Louis Pohl, Brian Sato, David B. Smith, James Surls, Dietrich Varez, Paul Weissman, Gwen Whitney, and Kaina Young.

"Showing His Stripes" / Melinda Morey / oil, alkyd, Dutch metal leaf on mixed media on wood panel / 2009 / Art in Public Places Collection of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts

Artist Melinda Morey finds a commonality between hip-hop dance and surf cultures. Whether in a beach parking lot on Kauaʻi (where she grew up) or in an underground dance club in New York City: both scenes revolve around a public image, attitude and attire, and finally the activity itself.

"Man" / Satoru Abe / carved, burned, painted and gilded pine sculpture / 1996 / Art in Public Places Collection of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts

Sculptor and painter Satoru Abe was born in Honolulu in 1926. Throughout his career, Abe has created visual expressions of the cycle of life -- growth, death, rebirth, and the human form. Abe simplified the head and torso into a block-like "silhouette" that suggests a seated figure in meditative stillness.

The 2018 Poetry Out Loud National semi-final and final round videos are now available to view online! Hawaiʻi State Champion Nicholas Amador's recitations can be viewed in Poetry Out Loud Semifinal 03 (his recitation begins at 40:04), and Poetry Out Loud Finals (Round 1, 32:20; Round 2, 1:08:43; and Round 3, 1:36:17).

National Arts in Education Week is September 9-15, 2018! The SFCA will be sharing stories about arts education work done by the SFCA and SFCA partners and grantees on social media with hashtags #artsedweek and #BecauseOfArtsEd. In 2018, the campaign is centered around the impact stories of arts education, especially the impact of arts education on individual lives. For more information: www.NationalArtsInEducationWeek.org

The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts provides arts education of State of Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) students K-12 through the following programs:

Every year, about 12,000 K-12 students engage in active, joyful, creative learning through this program.
Professional Development for Educators: SFCA supports professional development (PD) in the arts for classroom teachers and teaching artists, through institutes, courses and workshops.For classroom teachers, the goal is to help them learn how to integrate the arts with other core subject areas.For teaching artists, the goal is to hone their teaching skills and to ensure that they are abreast of national trends and best practices in arts education.
Poetry Out Loud: National poetry recitation competition for high school students.SFCA is responsible for the state level competition which involves public, private, charter and homeschooled students from all islands.Students learn about their literary heritage by choosing, memorizing and performing classic and contemporary poems.They also build self-confidence and public-speaking skills.
Hawai‘i Regional Scholastic Art Awards at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HiSAM): This annual competition and exhibition recognizes creative excellence among Hawaii's public and private school students in grades 7-12, and is done in collaboration with the DOE and the national Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
Young Artists of Hawai‘i: formerly called the Hawai‘i Convention Center Student Art Exhibition, this annual exhibition is done in collaboration with the DOE, the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools, and the Hawaii Convention Center. Young Artists of Hawai‘i was established by the SFCA to provide opportunities for public and private school students K-6 to participate in a juried art competition and present their artwork in a professional setting.

Art in Public Places: It's Your Art

Recent visitors to the HAWAIʻI: Change & Continuity exhibit at the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum included a group of participants from the Hawaii Health & Harm Reduction Center (HHHRC),a local non-profit agency providing services to the HIV, Hepatitis C, substance use, LGBQ, transgender, Native Hawaiian, and homeless population on Oahu, and Cullen Koshimizu, a Patient Navigator with HHHRC. They have kindly shared with us some information about their visit and what they experienced in the museum galleries. Additional text and photos are on the SFCA's news blog: It's Your Art: HiSAM Visitors from the HHHRC

"While most of them do seek medical and behavioral health services, visiting the museum was another way to engage our participants outside of an office setting. This allows for them to be more social and not so isolated in the community." - Cullen Koshimizu

"The art exhibited that I witnessed was dynamic, challenging, and inviting. Having a disability, I was pleased to see benches throughout the museum, and elevators to bring me to more rooms of beautiful art. This is a museum that I will visit many more times, and I invite you to, also. It is so convenient to reach, with bus stops right in front."

- HL

"I don't really see myself as a museum person, but I was amazed at the art. There were many pieces by Hawaiian and local artists on display. My favorite piece of art was the very first painting I saw. It was striking and I could see different parts of the painting the longer I looked at it."

- Paul

"We went directly into the gallery and stopped at John's painting which is the first, immediately to the right of the entrance.* I shared with our little group some background on John Thomas as an artist, the "Boy with Goldfish" collaboration and my part in it, and the Rainbow Falls painting in particular.As we parted in the lobby we all commented on how much we had enjoyed the experience, made the richer by us particular five. I really must do this again, soon."

- Jerre

*recent changes to the exhibit include changing out Rainbow Falls for Woman With Orchids #4, also by John Paul Thomas. The HAWAIʻI: Change & Continuity is currently scheduled to remain up through April 2020.
