Green art at Marks
Star-Bulletin staff
On tap for the First Friday gallery walk downtown this month is The ARTS at Marks Garage's latest, "Eco/Logic." The exhibit, an environmentally themed show coinciding with Hawaii Conservation Week, is a hybrid that strikes a balance between what the gallery calls "pretty pictures and doom-and-gloom."
FIRST FRIDAY
Place: Downtown district
Time: 5 to 9 p.m. Friday
Call: 521-2903 or visit artsatmarks.com for a map of the gallery walk

This multidisciplinary exploration of environmental issues includes the results of an open call to artists, invited artists, Hawaiian and environmental activists and community projects.
A video about the Blue Planet Foundation energy summit will be screened; the meeting of local, national and world leaders was held here in April.
Also in the space, Youth Speaks Hawaii, winners of the grand slam championship of the 11th annual Youth Speaks' Brave New Voices competition in Washington, D.C., will perform at 8:30 p.m. (The poets will also perform at the Ong King Arts Center as part of the regular evening's performance bill from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., with a $10 admission. Ong King is at 184 N. King St. Call 306-7823.)
