Hawaii is a melting pot of faces from around the globe. "Faces of Hawaii" is a photo exhibition that will become a book, telling a story of our time, place and community. We would like to represent photographers and their subjects from every part of the community, young and old, both amateurs and professionals. Images will be judged on both the story they tell visually, and an accompanying statement.

DUE TO NUMEROUS REQUESTS FOR A DEADLINE EXTENSION, THE NEW ENTRY DATE IS  9/12/08

Hawai'i Tourism Authority Promotes Cultural Tourism Seeks Materials from Artists and Arts Organizations to Showcase the Variety of Culture and Arts in Hawai'i

Aloha HSFCA Constituent:
        In a year-round marketing effort to showcase the variety of culture and the arts that Hawai‘i has to offer, the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) seeks materials from artists and arts organizations for the purpose of promoting cultural tourism to help attract potential visitors to our islands.
        The HTA has contracted Pacific Network, a newly created Internet network and website, to be the venue that features Hawai‘i’s artists and arts organizations on the Pacific Network website's Arts & Culture Channel. Artists and arts organizations may submit brief text, jpegs, and/or videos to the HTA for formatting on Pacific Network. A description of Pacific Network’s efforts is discussed in a Letter to Artists and Friends from Edgy Lee.
        By focusing on more pre-arrival exposure, potential visitors who are looking for ways to connect more closely with our culture can go to the Pacific Network website and access information about artists plus calendar listings of cultural events and activities while they are still in their decision-making process.
        Pacific Network will use the submitted material for the sole purpose of promoting an artist’s material as a means of featuring Hawai‘i’s artists and its arts organizations. The HTA and Pacific Network will not use any material submitted by an artist to promote the commercial sale of goods or services. In lieu of a general release, a Limited License Agreement has been provided to clarify the proposed use of the artist’s material by Pacific Network.
        Please click on the links for the Specifications Sheet and the Limited License Agreement that you will need to submit along with your materials. Send your materials and form to Lois Kajiwara, Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, 1801 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815. For more information, please call Lois at 973-2268 or email her at lkajiwara@hawaiitourismauthority.org. The HTA requests that materials be submitted by Tuesday, September 2, 2008.

Mahalo,

MAKAWAO- On August 18, 2008 Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center called for entries for their fall art exhibition. This year’s theme, “Artistic Alchemy,” invites local artists to explore and interpret this ancient, mystical science.

Practitioners of this early belief examined nature in an attempt to transform basic materials. The Hui hopes that the concept of alchemy inspires Maui’s artists to unlock their own magic through their unique creative process. The exhibition will highlight the essence and interpretations of the artist and will be shown at the Hui No`eau gallery from October 10th to November 8th.

Entries may be made online at www.callforentry.org until September 18, 2008. Receiving day for entries at the Hui No`eau will be October 3, 2008 from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm.
