A Walk Through the Gallery

Precious Resources: The Land & The Sea
October 6, 2006 - September 8, 2007




Precious Resources: The Land & The Sea featured over 90 works of art inspired by Hawai‘i’s natural environment. The artwork showed the importance of the land and sea which provides life-giving sustenance, natural beauty, and cultural traditions. Seven sub-themes - voyaging, ahupua‘a, cultural traditions and explorations, woodwork, forest, learning to see again, and water and sea - offered insights into various facets of Hawai‘i’s natural environment.

Featured artists included Allyn Bromley, Robert Hamada, Kathleen Kam, Herb Kane, Wayne Levin, Hiroki Morinoue, Louis Pohl, Franco Salmoiraghi, and John Wisnowsky.

The Exploration Station, an interactive gallery, was introduced that allowed visitors to experience art via hands-on displays.
