He Alo A He Alo: Face to Face, Visions and Portraits of Hawai!I December 11, 2009

He Alo A He Alo is an o!lelo no!eau, an Hawaiian expression that means coming into communion with someone else. In this exhibit, the viewer interacts with the fascinating world of other community members. On display are visionary artwork and portraits from the Art in Public Places Collection. The intimate works of art capture some of the essence of our Hawai!i community by honoring the subjects of the portraits and the work of the artists. Some of the themes of the exhibition are Hawaiian heritage, Asian roots, social consciousness and cultural traditions.
