🌿 Learning, creating, and connecting with our island home

This year, the Hui’s field trips are taking students' imagination beyond the studio and into the natural world as part of Year of Our Coastal Kuleana.

Through our new partnership with Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, students are learning about the wildlife and habitats that make Maui’s coastal ecosystems so special, then bringing those lessons back to the studio to create art inspired by the Refuge.

Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Services Program Manager Allyssa Morris joined us for one of these special field trips and shared:

“I love that students were able to learn about Keālia Pond NWR and later make beautiful art inspired by the Refuge. Being surrounded with students creating art is very special and I enjoyed watching each student work so diligently! My hope is that students will bring their families to visit the Refuge and feel a deeper connection to the place.”

We love seeing that connection happen: learning about a place, creating in response to it, and hopefully carrying that sense of curiosity and mālama with them. 🌺

Year of Our Coastal Kuleana is a year-long focus on caring for and connecting with our coastal environments, and we’re excited to bring these experiences to Maui students through art and education.

Have you made it up to the Hui to see Mālama Wao Akua yet?

Now in its 22nd year, Mālama Wao Akua: Caring for the Realm of the Gods is a juried exhibition celebrating the native species of Maui Nui. Presented by Hui No‘eau in collaboration with@eastmauiwp the exhibition brings together artwork inspired by the plants, animals, landscapes, and watersheds that make up our island home. ❤

The show is an opportunity to slow down and spend some time with the artwork while learning more about the native species found across Maui Nui. From paintings and photography to sculpture, fiber, ceramics, and other mediums, the exhibition offers many different ways for artists to explore and share the importance of protecting our native species.

If you haven’t seen the show yet, come by before it closes on November 6. And while you’re here, take a walk around the Kaluanui grounds, visit the Gallery Shop, and enjoy some time in Upcountry.

Mahalo to our exhibition sponsors: Drs. Susan O’Shaughnessy and Bryan Luther

Supported in part by: County of Maui • Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources • Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority
