The Art Community In Hawaii
by Amber Smith
While outsiders might associate Hawaii with world class beaches, surfing and sunsets, Hawaii is actually home to a bustling art scene that includes photographer, fiber artists, sculptors and painters. In Hawaii, you will find artists working with any medium you would find in other cosmopolitan city around the world. Like any large city with a population of working artists, Hawaii is home to arts organizations, museums, galleries and print shops -- all the resources a working artist needs.
Being an artist is not only about creating the art, as most professionals at some point will want to display their work as well as sell their artwork. To meet artists' needs, Hawaii is home to many galleries that specialize and feature the works of local artists. Honolulu's historic Chinatown has in recent years become the center for arts related events and activities and is home to several galleries. One of the more well known galleries is the Pegge Hopper gallery located on Nu'uanu Street. Pegge Hopper's work can be seen throughout the state in high-end restaurants and hotels. The Pegge Hopper Gallery hosts many showings of her classic and most recent work along with featuring the works of many local artists.
Many Hawaii artists will find themselves wanting to further their education, or might have the knowledge to teach to others. The Honolulu Museum of Art fills this community need by offering a wide variety of classes often taught by local artists. Classes include subjects such as painting and drawing, textiles and fiber, metal and jewelry as well as ceramics. The museum also offers classes in Japanese Tea Ceremony, which is considered an art in its own right.
Despite the cultural diversity that gives Hawaii a cosmopolitan air, the state is still relatively small, with the total population falling well under the two million mark. Because of this, Hawaii's art community is very close-nit. A number of organizations arrange shows, represent artists in the community and give their members the opportunity to meet other artist members who can then form communities of their own. One well known group is the Hawaii Arts Alliance. This group, based in Chinatown is well know for enhancing the lives of artists as well as the community by the advancement, education and celebration of the arts in Hawaii.
Many Hawaii artists are highly successful on a commercial level, shipping their artwork around the globe on a daily basis. To meet the demands of their clientele, many artists have their fine art scanned and printed to keep up with the orders of their customers.
