The Kauai Society of Artists is asking you to make your vote count and donate a buck for an artistic cause at a free exhibit running through April 11.
Kauai artists have put their works on the line at the annual KSA membership exhibit and each time a visitor to the KSA gallery pays $1, they can cast their ballot for their favorite work of art or artist.
Zoe Babits won the people’s choice competition in 2013 with her six-foot long hand-painted surfboard and said she was thrilled at the honor and first place prize money.
“I have been selling my hand-painted surfboards for about 20 years,” said Babits. “I put my Pakala’s hand-painted surfboard in the competition because I wanted to show it off.”
Babit has sold over 50 boards to date so far.
KSA, a nonprofit organization, has been holding exhibits since its inception 30 years ago with the first people’s choice award presented in 2010.
Six awards will be presented at the closing reception for the competition from 5 to 8 p.m. April 11. There is no limit to the number of times a gallery attendee can vote. The award money comes from people’s voting dollars and the KSA.
The Gallery is in the Kukui Grove Shopping Center. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and until 8 p.m. on Fridays.
