Through the Artist's Eye

We are honored to be included in this invitational juried exhibition. Hope everyone could join us at this celebration of the beauty and diversity of this special place on Planet Awesome.

Through The Artist’s Eye is the first-ever Volcano Art Center invitational exhibition focusing on the native plant and animal species, and minerals found in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This multimedia show features the selected works of Kate & Will Jacobson, Tommy Adkins, Clytie Mead, Mary Goodrich, Joseph Ruesing, Monica Mann, Esther Szegedy, Sarah Taylor Ko, Charlene Asato and Glorianne Garza. The artists have been selected from this year’s annual Hawai’i Nei, a juried art exhibition celebrating species native to the island of Hawai’i. VAC has challenged these artists further by narrowing the scope of their subject matter to plant and animal species, and minerals found in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. In addition to the works of art on display, an abundance of educational offerings are scheduled with the participating artists that include workshops, lectures, and demonstrations.

An opening reception with the artists will be held at the Gallery on Saturday, April 25 from 5pm-7pm. Through The Artist’s Eye runs through May 31.
