LIHU‘E — The “Slipperfish,” an artwork created by Monika Mira for last year’s Washed Up Marine Debris Art Show, is more impressive in person than what is rendered on the Kaua‘i Society of Artists’ exhibit poster.
LIHU‘E — The “Slipperfish,” an artwork created by Monika Mira for last year’s Washed Up Marine Debris Art Show, is more impressive in person than what is rendered on the Kaua‘i Society of Artists’ exhibit poster.
Artist Amy Vanderhoop used “glow-in-the-dark” pigments in the elements of her “Namaka” art piece, and Abigail Boroughs, one of the charter artists for Washed Up, turned to surplus bucket tops to hold her collection of bottle caps found along Kaua‘i’s shorelines.
“Some of those pieces are really impressive,” said Jean Souza, the Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery on-site manager. “We borrowed several of Tom Pickett’s pieces – a giant jellyfish, and a seabird – that hangs on our walls.”
The KSA Fourth Annual Washed Up Marine Debris Art Show 2022 opens Friday with a Meet-the-Artists reception, Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the KSA gallery at the Kukui Grove Center. The exhibit, co-sponsored with the Surfrider Foundation of Kaua‘i will be available for viewing from May 14 through June 10, including June 8 that is celebrated as World Oceans Day, a day set aside by the United Nations for humanity to celebrate the ocean.
Everyone is invited to view the exhibit daily, seven days a week.
Viewing hours are from noon until 4 p.m., Sundays through Fridays, and Saturday. Friday hours are from noon until 7 p.m.
