The first Hanalei Art Walk kicked off last December, and every month it gets bigger and better. This month’s event featured a belly-dancing troupe, live music, a surf movie, several local artisans and a fashion show, complete with a catwalk and stunning models.
We checked it out and saw hundreds of people from all corners of Kaua‘i, having a great time. Event mastermind and organizer Joel Guy said the art walk is a free and non-drug-and-alcohol community affair, helping support local businesses.
“Everybody tries to stay open a little late, and do something extra,” Guy said of the businesses in the area.
The highlight of last Saturday’s event was a full-on fashion show. Event director Jesse Howard, of Six Degrees Management, did an amazing job organizing all the details, from getting models, photographers, a makeup artist, music and the rest of the infrastructure.
Past art walks featured a disc jockey and children’s theater. Guy said next month’s art walk is a surprise, and he wouldn’t want to spoil the fun by disclosing it. So mark your calendar and make sure to come by on April 10.
Anyone with fresh ideas, or interest in exhibiting art work or a movie at the event, please contact Guy at 635-2074 or email at typaguy@yahoo.com. For more information go to secondsaturdayhanalei.blogspot.com.
