Artists of Hawaii 2006
NOW in its 56th year, the "Artists of Hawaii" exhibition at the Honolulu Academy of Arts is the premier juried art show in the isles. The show features a new juror each year from outside Hawaii to select works by local artists.
More than 800 entries were submitted this year. Edmund Capon, director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, took the helm and chose 79 pieces by 50 artists for the show.
"I have tried to select works that seem to reflect Hawaii now and yet offer audiences an idea of where Hawaii is going," Capon writes in his juror's statement.
