KAILUA-KONA — Community residents and supporters of the West Hawaii Community Health Center are invited to attend “Art is Healing” a juried art show exhibition, sale and wine reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30 at the new West Hawaii Community Health Center Kealakehe location (just south of Kealakehe High School at 74-5214 Keanalehu Drive).

West Hawaii Community Health Center is once again partnering with Donkey Mill Art Center to host a multi-media juried art exhibition to build a permanent collection of art for its locations in Kailua-Kona, Kealakehe, Kealakekua and Waikoloa Village.

The juried art show encourages artists to interpret and explore the how art can be healing either through the process of creating art or through the content of what is created. The juried show is curated by Amber Aguirre, Chuck Bennett and Wayne Levin. Purchased artwork will be donated to the permanent art collection of West Hawaii Community Health Center for display at one of the five (5) health center locations in West Hawaii.

The opening reception will feature wine and pupus by local favorite Paradise Gourmet, and entertainment by the Royal Kona Harp Ensemble featuring harpist and vocalist Bernice Roberto. Tickets are $25 and are available online at WestHawaiiCHC.org.
