CONTACT is a juried exhibition along with community programming that explores the notion of contact as it relates to the Hawaiian Islands, its people and their experiences. Contemporary artists of all ethnicities and ages will be delving into a variety of contact inspired messaging. This exhibit is coupled with programming that involves audiences, film and dialogues to make ‘contact" across opinions and perspectives.
