Tours begin and end at Honolulu Printmakers, located in the Marks Building at 1142 Bethel St (formerly occupied by Louis Pohl Gallery).

The hourlong sunset walk begins after a hands-on printmaking demonstration: participants can create a print on paper, or purchase 88 Block Walks tote bags to customize during the activity ($10 with tour ticket, $15 for additional bags). First Friday starts at 5pm and most events continue until 8 or 9 so arrive early to find parking or do some exploring on your own before the tour, then stick around afterward to enjoy art, libations, and performances around Chinatown! Tours continue rain or shine so please plan accordingly—bring jackets or umbrellas if weather suggests. Tours depart promptly at 6pm and will require approximately 55 minutes of walking.

This special exhibition, curated by kumu hula Aulii Mitchell and supported by the First Nations Development Institute & Henry Luce Foundation, focuses on the critically endangered Hawaiian hula art of “hula kiʻi,” or Hawaiian puppetry, and its ritual uses in dance.

"The hula kiʻi is a critically endangered Hawaiian practice of the ritual of dance of carved images, Hawaiian puppetry,” says curator and kumu hula Aulii Mitchell. “Today, this specialized genre exists only in three hula kiʻi schools. It is one of many dance genres of old Hawaiʻi; a traditional folk art form of the indigenous people Na Hawaiʻi. Come and witness the sharing of 26 newly carved hula kiʻi as they perform new songs and dances for this historic event!”

Six hula hālau, or hula schools, will be participating in the exhibit.

A 90-minute walking tour exploring culture, history, and contemporary artwork in Waikīkī for the final week of Hawai‘i Triennial 2022.

The Waikīkī Collection is a contextualized tour that speaks within the discourse of a controversial Hawai'i relationship with the visitor industry. Before rampant development transformed Waikīkī into a tourist mecca of artificial beaches and luxury hotels, this section of the O‘ahu south shore was recognized as an important watershed and served as a respite and sport for ancient Hawai`i chiefs or Ali‘i. Experience the work of HT22 artists and find connections to the past while exploring cultural kīpuka that persist within the urban landscape. This unique walking tour features works by Hawai`i-based artists John Koga, Bumpei Akaji, and Yvonne Cheng.

The tour starts near this year's Waikīkī hub in the Royal Hawaiian Center and journeys through public and private art collections encircling the immediate Helumoa Road and Kalakaua Avenue. Visiting locations include the Royal Hawai`ian Hotel, the Halekulani, Fort DeRussy Park, Luxury Row, and a walkthrough of the new Halepuna Hotel collection. Ending at the Waikīkī hub chosen for the Hawai`i Triennial 2022 (HT22), a city-wide contemporary art exhibition entitled theme Pacific Century - E Ho’omau No Moananuiākea.

함께 - Hamkkeh means ‘Together’ in Korean.

Korean-American painter Lauren Hana Chai and ceramic sculptor Ashley Ryan Wells have come together in an unconventional way bringing their unique individual styles and collaboration pieces which were kept raw via omitting communication on the process and rather focusing on creating intuitively. With a challenge so unique, these sculptures showcase the different perspectives and stories they have when looking at the same piece.

International PechaKucha Day is a 24-Hour Worldwide Celebration of Creativity, Optimism, and LOVE!

“Drop in” online anytime and hear inspiring stories by 100+ presenters across all continents, including Hawai‘i’s own Jack Soren – wave-surfing, graffiti-spraying, mural-painting, Native Hawaiian artist, born, raised, and currently residing on the North Shore O‘ahu.

Soren will present in Hour 21.

PechaKucha (Japanese for “chit chat”) is the world’s fastest-growing storytelling platform, used by millions around the globe. PechaKucha is what “Show and Tell” always dreamed of becoming.

In 2003, yearning for “More show. Less tell,” architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo’s Klein Dytham architecture invented PechaKucha. The initial purpose: to streamline long design presentations. Sessions soon morphed into happenings: PechaKucha Nights -- first in Tokyo, then around the world. Today, more than 50,000 people present at 1,100+ global PechaKucha Nights every year. And the number keeps exploding.

Artist will be present.
