In Honolulu, the month of May has become
Maoli Arts Month (MAMo). There are events all throughout the month celebrating and showing Native Hawaiin artists and their work. Galleries across Honolulu show art by Native Hawaiian artists, there is a hugely successful wearable arts show, an art market, several film screenings, and a food festival.
This past weekend I unpacked all my monoprints and set up shop at the Maoli art market at the Bishop Museum. There was all kinds of art from prints and paintings to instruments, weapons, and tools, to clothes and weavings.

I got to bring home some special goodies. I got three new 'ohe kapala, and the tiniest shark jaw you've ever seen. Successful weekend!
