‘Artists of Hawaii’
opens Sept. 19
Eleven artists were given 10 months to create works for the Honolulu Museum of Art’s juried exhibition, Artists of Hawaii, which runs Sept. 19 to Nov. 24.
Island-based artists were invited to submit images of 10 to 12 pieces to provide an in-depth look at their work. These artists will present their oeuvres: Amber Aguirre and John Ferdico, both of Hawaii Island; Roberta Griffith of Kauai; Drew Broderick, Clarence Chun, Kandi Everett, Yumiko Glover, Ryan Higa, Chris Ritson, Russell Sunabe and William Williams III, all of Oahu.
The selection committee comprised museum director Stephan Jost, deputy director Allison Wong, contemporary art curator James Jensen, and former associate contemporary art curator Inger Tully. Over the past several months, Jensen worked with each artist to develop and select a group of works to show with the other selected artists.
The exhibition is part of the museum’s ongoing commitment to support local artists through all four of its venues. While the number of artists selected for Artists of Hawaii has decreased from previous years, the programs for Hawaii-based artists will increase.
