Maoli Arts Month events: Native Hawaiian Street Festival in Honolulu this weekend


The Advertiser highlights this weekend's Native Hawaiian Street Festival in downtown Honolulu, "part of the Maoli Arts Month celebration ... with nearly two dozen arts and crafts vendors, demonstrations, food booths and entertainment. Nearby galleries also are focusing on a range of Hawaiian arts."

Also part of Maoli Arts Month, "A few blocks away, at the Hawai'i State Art Museum (250 S. Hotel St.), Ma Ka Hana Ka 'Ike: Keiki Art Day is a hands-on adventure for the whole family. Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners and artisans will help youngsters in sand art, watercolors, lei making, kapa beating, lauhala weaving, featherwork, storytelling and other activities."

Both events are free.

Other coming events include the Wearable Art Show, from 5 to 9 p.m. May 19 at the Hawai'i State Art Museum; the Native Hawaiian Arts Market, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 26-27 at Bishop Museum; and reVERSES, an evening of Native Hawaiian poets, with open mike, 8 to 10 p.m. May 29 at The ARTS at Marks Garage."
