HONOLULU PRINTMAKERS
Deb Aoki's screen print "Sky Above, Earth Below II."
Admission is $25 for spectators, which includes food and beverages. Those who pay $100 for one or $125 for two can enjoy food and beverages and go home with one free print -- an excellent deal, considering prints by many of the artists typically sell for $300 to $1,000.
Among those participating in the show are established artists such as Hanae Mills, Hiroki Morinoue, Ron Kowalke, Shirley Hasenyager, Laura Ruby and Timothy Ojile; masters of darkness and light such as Jon Hamblin and Deb Aoki; and new talents to watch such as James Connor and Deborah Nehmad.
