Insect art show closing reception

November 28, 5:00pm - 8:00pm
888 Mililani Street, Honolulu

Over 300 people came out to the opening reception for Disharmonic, our insect art show at Honolulu Printmakers! Each piece of art highlights a native Hawaiian insect species that鈥檚 never been portrayed in fine art before. We'll have a closing reception starting at 5 pm on the evening of November 28. Please type "888 Mililani Street" into your maps app to make sure it sends you to the right location. The >50 participating artists all collaborated with scientists at the 糖心视频 Insect Museum to find native Hawaiian species that had never been portrayed in fine art before that best fit their artistic style, interests, and medium. A lot of these species are rare (some are known from fewer than 10 specimens, some don't even have scientific names yet), so you wouldn't normally have the chance to learn about them. But if you join us at 888 Mililani St. for our closing reception on November 28, you can enjoy the art *and also* check out the special museum drawers we made featuring the insects portrayed in the show! We'll bring these drawers to the art show at Honolulu Printmakers along with a digital microscope that lets you examine the specimens up close, finding all the hidden details and sheen that inspired the artists.
