Phil at ONE Gallery

Last week ONE Gallery in Hilo celebrated it's open house in their new location on Kamehameha Street -- right on the Hilo's bay front.  There was a traditional Hawaiian blessing, music and hula as hundreds of visitors strolled the streets visiting galleries, museums and eateries.  (Yes! in fact, it was very like Old Town Eureka's "Arts Alive.")  Learn more about ONE Gallery: www.onegalleryhawaii.com

(Phil was present, of course, but Lunel was a home tending to the new tribe.  Helping Dexter welcome Ms. Reba B, and Pokole' Poko.)

In one image here, there is a woman looking at Phil's collection of wood art, but this week one of the artists pulled his work out of the gallery, so Phil has a brand new big wall space which really highlights his art.

There are a couple of other really wonderful exhibits in town too, especially at the East Hawaii Cultural Center, Museum of Contemporary Art.  The show there is called Ho'i Hou ia' KaMole  "From the Source" and features art by local talent. www.downtownhilo.com/hawaii-museum-of-contemporary-art
