ALOHA, AND WELCOME TO ART MAUl 2007

THE 29TH ANNUAL EXHIBITION At it's inception, the Founders of Art Maui defined the purpose of the organization as

"".to promote, encourage and recognize ex­cellence in the visual and tactile arts through education and an annual juried exhibition open to all residents of the County of M aui, ... the standards of which must be maintained Jt the highest possible level.. ,II

For the past twenty-nine years, that has been the goal of this exhibition. Simply put, the annual juried exhi­bition of the "best" on Maui.

Art Maui's educational programs have taken various forms over the years, including providing materials grants to teachers, special grants, etc. Three years ago the Directors decided to expand the programs by est.:lblishing a scholarships program available to higl l school seniors wllo show achievement in the visual

arts and interest in fur thering their post-secondary education in related fjelds.

This year we are pleased to announce that Art Maui is signi ficantl y expanding its scholarship program and invites you to participate, with a tax-deduction dona­tion.

What you see before you is the product of countless hours of dedication by both artists and volunteers, not only in the creation of the annual exhibition, but also in the yeaHound activities of the organization such as scholarships and on-gOing educational proj­ects. We sincerely thank everyone associated with this effort.

Welcome and please enjoy.

The Art Maui Featured Artist for 2007:

CALEB O/CON NOR My artistic inspiration varies from piece to piece and operates on two different levels. First. I have inspiration for the ideas or concepts of my works, and secondly the technique. The technique is subservient to my ideas and my ability to observe. Both the ideas and technique are equally important to me. The inspiration for my ideas is found in my daily life, and I draw from religion, politics, and simple daily experiences. However, as momentary as my inspiration can be, I always strive for a timeless quality as it lends itself to a greater truth. Technical in­spiration such as color, light, volume and shape I find through the constant comparison- of my I ife to work.

MARCIA

It is an honor to be invited to help in the selection of work for Art Maui, one of the premier juried ex­hibitions in the state of Hawaj ' i, and I welcome the opportunity to see more of the creative excellence of M aui's artists. I hope to see work that invites me to take a second or third look: work possessi ng a sense of technical mastery that hono rs the materials and processes of a rtmaki ng, combi ned with thought-pro­voking concepts and ideas.?

MARCIA MORSE was raised in Hawaii, and com· pleted her education on the U.S. mainland. After completi ng her undergraduate work at Harvard University, she spent two-and-a- half years livi ng in Qui to, Ecuador, where she began her study of print­maki ng. She completed graduate work in Printmak· ing at Stanford Universi ty in 1974 before return ing to Hawai ' i.

She has worked at Honolulu Community Col lege since 1984, w here she is tenured as a Professor of Art. She is co·founder of the Honolulu Printmaking Workshop, now merged with Honolu lu Printmakers, and has participated in numerous solo, small group, juri ed and invitational exhibitions si nce 1965. She is represented in several private and corporate col· lections in the U.S., Japan and Europe, and is the re· cipient of several purchase awards from the Hawai ' i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. She is also the recipient of a major individual fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts for her work in hand.papermaking. Marcia has also worked as an art cri tic and independent arts writer since 1978. She served as art critic for the Honolulu Star Bulletin for eleven years, and currently w rites for Honol ulu Weekly as well as Artweek and Art in America.

REIKO MOCHI NAGA

I believe good art should be able to stand for itself without any explanation. Rather than merely enter· tai n with a concept or r ide a current trend, art should convey the artist's own vision and inner spi ri t that are crysta lli zed in good workmanship and good design. To me, bei ng a vi sual artist is an incredibly self·oriented, private, lonely profession. It takes guts, patience, hard work, and honesty. As an art ist you must communicate from your own heart with utmost sincerity and conviction. My positive "yes" vote will go to those works and thei r creators

REIKO MOCHINAGA BRANDON received a BA in history from Rikkyo University in Tokyo, did graduate study as a Fulbright grantee at the East West Center and received an MFA in fiber art from the University of Hawaii, She has been active as an artist for the past three decades exhibiting in Hawai ' i, the US, Eu· rope and Japan. Her works have been shown at the Guggenheim Museum in Soho, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, the British Crafts Center, l ondon, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Honolulu Academy of Art, and the Contemporary Arts Museum in Hono· lulu .

From 1986 to 2003 she held the posit ion of Curator of Texti les at the Honolulu Academy Arts. She orga· nized numerous exhibitions during her tenure and authored seven publications on Asian and Hawaiian textile arts. She has received the University of Hawaii D isti nguished Alumni Award, the American College Theater Festival Award (for stage set and costume design), and a number of purchase awards from the State Foundation on Culture and Arts.

TOM KLOBE

Art communicates on two levels, the visual and the conceptual. It is the interaction of these two aspects that makes a work of art stand apart from others. Both are essential to art's significance, to its ability to capture the intangible quality that gives an art form its inner vitality and sense of timelessness.

As Director of the Art Gallery of the University of Ha­waii at Manoa, Dr. Klobe was one of the founders and project coordinator of the international art ex­change program, "Crossings", which emphasized Ha­waii's ancient and profound connections with other countries and cultures. The f irst exhibition in 1986 resulted in an extensive art and cultural exchange between Hawaii and Japan. In 1997, he arranged for twenty-four cultu ral organizations to present the work of twenty-eight contemporary French artists in Ha­waii, and in 2003, the "Crossings" project brought the work of fifty-six a.rtists from the Korean peninsula to a number of Hono lulu's major art museums.

Dr. Klobe also turned the University of Hawaii's "Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition" into an international event. He was also instrumental in establishing and opening the State Foundation on Culture and the Art's new Hawaii State Art Museum.

Named a "Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" in 1999 by the Republic of France in recognition for his contributions to arts and culture in the world, in 2005 he was also designated a "Living Treasure of Hawaii." Dr. Klobe has been guest curator, consul ­tant, and design!:!r for many museums and galleries including the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Mission Houses Museum, John Young Museum, Hawaii State Art Museum, and the Maui Arts and Cultural Center.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR

ART MAUl 2008 As a completely volunteer organization, Art Maui annually presents the largest and most successful juried exhibition in the state - and that's only the beginning! It is also completely self-supporting and, although the idea is tempting at times, receives no government or corporate grants. Additionally, the Scholarship Fund gives out significant funds to de­serving students. And we've been doing it for twenty­nine years!

Because it is self-supporting, Art Maui is completely independent of special interest groups and outside influences. To the extent that a particular exhibition might take a certain direction or have a certain look, that is the decision of the juror(s). Once selected by the Board of Directors, the juror, or panel of th ree j urors depending on the year, solely determines the content of the annual exhibition.

And, yes, sometimes, we wonder what they were thinking as well! But, by tradition, Art Maui has al· ways been controversial.

However, without the volunteers, Art Maul simply would not exist - and that's where you come in. The current exhibition is barely "on the walls" and we are already at work on the 30th Anniversary Exhibi ­tion which will open in March, 2008. We need vol ­unteers to help us organize and present what will be the most magnificent celebration of the arts the island has ever experienced.

Under discussion are plans to expand ART MAUl 2008 from the traditional gallery exhibition to in­dude film, performance art, computer-generated imagery, animation, etc. In other words, a series of events with the gallery exhibition as the core event. The possibilities are almost limitless. InCidentally, this format was the original one proposed by the founders of Art Maui almost thirty years ago: a multi ­faceted series of events encompaSSing all the arts.

We are looking for people who want to get involved in the bUilding of a new and better Art Maul. If this appeals to you, and if you have the energy to get involved, you'd be most welcome.

RECIPIENTS OF ART MAUl SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 2006: Christopher Vail, Seabury Hall; Daniele Comeaux, Hana High school; Liana Takamine and Melissa Garcia, King Keakaulike High School

ART MAUl SCHOLARSHIP

PROGRAM Since its inceptioll, it has been the intention of Art Maul, as a non-profit organization, to promote, en­courage and recognize excellence in the fine and applied arts through education and an annual juried exhibition open to all artists, profession;)! or ama­teur, who reside in the County of MauL

In recent years, the Board of Di rectors felt there was excellence in the visual arts programs of our schools and wanted to support young artists interested in fu r­thering their education by offering scholarships to graduating high school seniors. In 2005, the first Art Maui Scholarhips were awarded.

In 2006, we had applicants from Baldwi n, Hana, King Kekaulike, Maui and Seabury H igh Schools, with student artists shOWing amaZing talent and originality in the use of media, technique as well as sophistication in concept development. We were pleased to award scholarships to fou r graduating stu­dents from BaldWin, Ki ng Kekaulike and Hana H igh Schools.

The 2006 scholarship awards went to Christopher Vail [$10001 from Seabury Hall, who studied with teacher Lenda McGehee; Daniele Comeaux [$ 1 OOOJ from Hana H igh School, whose teacher was Rick

25

Rutiz; Melissa Garcia [$5001 and Liana Takarni ne [$5001 both from King Kekaulike H igh School, who studied with Melanie Seaton. We wish them all the best of luck and hope to see thei r work in it future Art Maui exhibit.

The scholarship gUideli nes reqUired applicants to be seniors graduating from a high school venue in Maui County, including private, charter and home school, in the spring of 2006, who were enrolled in Ad­vanced Placement, or combined visual arts classes.

Applicants were asked to submit 5 examples of thei r work, a statement about thei r work, and a let­ter of recommendation from an instructor who was familiar with the applicant's work and high school uchievement.

Applications fo r the Art Maui 2007 scholarships to be awarded this spring are available to all seniors who will be graduating from any high school in Maui County, including public, private, charter and home school, and who are currently enrolled in Advanced Placement, or taking multiple visual arts classes. The deadline for application is March 31,2007.

Additionally, your donation to the Art Maul Scholar­ship Fund would be most appreCiated, and is fully tax-deductible. A printed brochure detaili ng the pro­gram as well as how to make a donation is avail ­able at the reception desk in the ga[lery during the exhibition. It may also be obtained by contacting Art Maui onli ne at www.art rnaui .comor bytelephoneto 808.244.8272. All donations are tax-deductible and you will receive a written receipt from Art Maui, a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

ART MAUl - THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

The history of Maui's art reflects the history of Mauj's people. Rooted in the petroglyphs, tapa cloths, and carvi ngs of our PolynesiJ Il ancestors, arIon the island has become as diverse <IS the individuals who live here. For almost three decades Art Maui has celebrated those artists.

and the dedicated art collectors, who purchase artwork from the show each year, has been an essential element to its success. The production of Art Maui posters and cards began in 1985 with the creation of a Publicity Artist Award.

Art MaLii continues to encourage and recognize excellence in the visual and tactile arts in Maui County through education. It awards individual scholarships to high school seniors in order to further their education and to advance thei r careers in the visual arts.

For almost 30 years, with a comp!etely volunteer staff and a diversity of distinguished judges, Art Maui has become 'The premiere showcase for

As (ate as -1978, artists living on Maui had limited opportunities to show their work. The lahaina Arts Society featured one-persoll shows in the newly renovated Old Jail Gallery; there were art shows at the Public library; and an artist could win a P place ribbon at the County Fair Art Salon sponsored by the Maui Camera Club. Tourism was beginning to flourish, hotels and condos were being built, and commercial galleries were opening. How would Mauj's artist community become part of this growth?

Art Maui was born in 1979 thanks to visionaries Miriam Fendler, Janet Allan, director of the lahaina Art SOCiety, and artists Marian Freeman and Richard Nelson. They incorporated seminars that were geared toward teaching the 'art of business' and organized a Film Festival. Along with a group of art enthusiasts, this core group planned a venue giving all Maui artists an opportunity to compete and exhibit. Art Maui is now the second largest juried exhibit in Hawaii.

HAWAII STATE FOUNDATION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS

"The Arts Affirm Life" Since 1965, The Hawaii; State Foundation on Cul ­ture and the Arts (HSFCA) has cOlllmitted to pro­mote, perpetuate, preserve, and encourage the cul ­ture, arts, history and the humanities that are central to the quality of life of the people of Hawaii. We are honored to return to Art Mau; 2007 as part of our Art in Public Places Program (APP) and partic ipate in one of the most important juried shows in the State of Hawai i.

As part of our initiatives and acquis itions via the Art in Public Places Program, HSFCA celebrates the cul ­IUral richness and diversily of Hawai' j wi th the be­lief that a thriving culture and arts community with broad access to the arts are necessary in order for there to be a rich and fulfilling quali ty of life for all.

This credo of "The Arts Affirm Life" was truly em­bodied by HSFCA's first cha irman, the late Masaru

28

"Pundy" Yokouchi. Through his tireless efforts and passionate belief that " the arts are for everyone" Ha­waii was the first state in America to establish the "One Percent for Art" law which mandates that this percentage be invested in the perpetuation, educa­tion and exhibition of Hawaii 's artists works. Today, this program helps HSFCA acquire Hawaii 's artists works, as well as supporti ng all the facets of HSFCA's Art in Publ ic Places Program.

"Thanks to Pundy and our first executive director Al ­fred Preis the APP program has continued to thrive, ensuring that our arti sts in Hawaii are recognized for their excellence and dedication to their craft" says Ronald Yamakwa, HSFCA Executive Director.

'SFCA was the first "Percent for Art" Art' in the nation, and that has helped us all. Hawai ' i has a lot of talented

artists who need support" -- Satoru Abe, Artist

Each Year, the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts organizes an Acqu isitioll Award Selec­tion COlllmittee (AASC) to visit Art Maui prior to the opening of the annual show. The AASC is comprised of HSFCA commissioners, HSFCA staff and vol unteer consul tants w ho are respected and qualified visual arts profess ionals. The AASC is responsible for se­lect ing and recommending to the HSFCA board out­standing works of art that should be considered for acquisition for the Art in Public Places Relocatable Collection. The HSFCA board reviews the pieces rec­ommended by the AASC and is responsible for deter­mining the final acqu isitions for the APP collection.

Works of art acquired for the State of Hawai'j 's pub­l ic art collection are displayed in state offices and buildings throughout Hawai i creating our "Museum Without Walls" vi rtual art museum for everyone to enjoy. The objectives of the Art in Public Places Pro­gram (APP) are:

To enhance the environmental quality of publ ic buildings and spaces throughout the State of Hawaii for the enjoyment and enrichment of the publiC;
