Aloha Folks,
Just a reminder that we offer signage services of all kinds!
See our latest installation at: http://blog.honoluluacademy.org/?p=2280
for the Honolulu Academy of Arts, one of our greatest inspirations! Be sure to check out the Vogel Collection, a collection of modern works donated by a married couple (with no children), 50 works to each of the 50 states! — A very thoughtful idea, everyone across America can enjoy!
If you like going to the Punahou Carnival every year, please be sure to visit the Gallery. Kahi will have the “Spirit Series” (from ASJE 2010) copper piece here and a photograph from his “Botanical Series” (three photos from this series are part of the newly renovated Double Tree Alana Waikiki). 50% of the selling price directly benefit Punahou School’s Financial Aid Program. While our daughter is currently in the Wait Pool at Kamehameha Schools, considering Punahou is an option so long as financial aid is available–so let’s keep the program going. The carnival is on for two days only, Friday Feb. 4 and Saturday Feb. 5 from 11 am – 11pm. Put some cash aside from now ’til then and we’ll see you there!
Now that Kahi will be teaching Bonsai at the Academy, he is officially part of the faculty, and will be participating in the 2nd Annual Honolulu Academy of Arts Faculty & Staff exhibition. We have worked as vendors with the Academy for 10 years now and we have discovered many talents within the HAA family.
Opening reception: Friday, January 7, 2011, 5.30–9pm, Artist presentations, Pecha Kucha #12: 6.30pm, Art demonstrations by faculty, Music by: Heart & Soul, Cultural Nation, and others
Exhibition will remain on view through: January 28, 2011

Kahi will be teaching at the Academy Art Center this Spring 2011. He will be incorporating the Art of Bonsai and 2-Dimensional Art in this class. This will be a new approach from a fine artist’s point of view, and his own steps in documenting, studying, and creating bonsai using “artist” techniques. See link to view the catalog, to learn more about the course, and how to register. We are very excited about this course, he has taught drawing and painting before, but this course will be combing his art knowledge with his love of Bonsai.
Contemporary Bonsai Studies by Kahi Ching
Weds 6–9pm / Jan 26–May 4 / $260 / Rm 102
