Kudos, Shannon Hiramoto, the Hawaii Craftsmen Kauai coordinator, for juggling the busy Friday schedule of accepting Kauai entries to the Hawaii Craftsmen exhibit, and balancing the opening day of the Kauai Society of Artists Art Kauai 2024 (Caylin Spear said there were a lot of entries to that exhibit). Artist Kimberlin Blackburn was busy escorting the Hawaii Craftsman Juror Suzanne Isken to lunch and the Kauai Museum before Isken had to jury the Kauai entries, present her talk to the artists, and take in the Art Kauai opening.
Larry Feinstein, described by the Kauai Office of Economic Development as “a writer and island resident with the goal of giving back to Kauai while learning,” is thrilled to learn the OED launched its Kui Kaua‘i newsletter.
“Through each issue, we hope to kui, or string together, the people and work being done in our community to build pilina for a stronger, more resilient island,” the OED said. “Similar to the way one sews a lei, we will bring many parts together — piece by piece — with one thread connecting us all.”
