Culinary Arts Under the Stars returns May 5 Culinary Arts Under the Stars — a benefit for Hawaii Community College-Palamanui’s Continued on page 5 ➠ ➠ Continued from page 3 Kahilu Theatre’s annual juried art exhibit, “A Climate of Change,” remains on display through June 2 in the Kohala Gallery. Juror Michael Marshall, University of Hawaii at Hilo art department chairman, selected 28 works by 19 Hawaii-based artists from approximately 100 submitted pieces. Artists were asked to enter work that responds to the title of the exhibit, “A Climate of Change.’ Responses dealing with environmental, political, and social change were encouraged. The winners were announced at the opening reception on April 7. First place was awarded to “Merchant and Richards: You Can Park Here, She’s Not a Meter Maid.” The artwork by Yvonne Yarber Carter and Keoki Apokolani Carter features photography, video and original score. Second place went to “still water; reflect,” a piece by Mary Babcock made with reclaimed fishing nets and ropes. The piece is part of a larger body of work created from abandoned nets and lines reclaimed from Pacific waters and shores. It addresses human imposed threats to the world’s ecosystems and the interdependent nature of human consciousness and the material world. Third Place went to Tamara Moan for her watercolor on paper piece, “High Tide.” The piece was inspired by both the worldwide voyage of the Hokulea as well as the ongoing concern over the ocean’s health. In addition to the juried exhibit winners, “still water; reflect” by Babcock and “Merchant and Richards: You Can Park Here, She’s Not a Meter Maid” by Yvonne Yarber Carter and Keoki Apokolani Carter were recommended by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to be added to the Arts in Public Places Collection. The Kahilu Galleries are free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekdays, as well as during all performances at Kahilu Theater.
