Arts For Education
We’ve all heard talk about cuts to art programs in schools across Hawai‘i. Most recently, due to the state’s unsatisfactory performance in implementing programs aimed to improve low-performing schools, the Education Department put Hawai‘i on “high risk” status and in jeopardy of losing its $75 million Race to the Top grant.
With this thought at the forefront, The Human Imagination is kicking off the new year with an exhibition by 7th and 8th graders of Prince David Kawananakoa Middle School, as part of their Arts For Education Program, which aims to inspire the young through creativity that will help them to observe and acquire the knowledge for the real world. Titled Value in the Role Model, the exhibition will showcase scratchboard art, which draws upon the students’ own research and interpretation of whom they see as role models.
Art begets creativity. Creativity begets dreams. Dreams beget possibilities.

Painted Highways New EP
One of my last interactions with Painted Highways was when they played The Venue last September, the stage awash in blue lights and filled with painted household items like lamps, vacuum cleaners, desks, chairs, blue (which they subsequently dumped into the back of my truck after I proclaimed to like them so much).
After that, life took over and the guys kind of went underground. So I’m thrilled to hear they just release a new EP available for $0.00 HERE! This is one band you definitely want to support.
