From June 25-30, Honolulu’s hive of art, food, retail and nightlife – Chinatown – becomes the site of FIND ART: Celebrating Community + Creativity. Over three days, FIND ART reconfigures Chinatown into a wonderland of family, music, art, and craftivism, with a goal of reinforcing local community connections.
FIND ART brings visiting established artists and musicians into a creative mashup with their local peers and the public. The mix includes five contemporary visual artists from the mainland who emphasize community involvement in their work. In addition, four local artists will engage with and “play” with public space and the public in general.
