Pow Wow

Straight from their website, "POW WOW IS A GATHERING OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS THAT ENGAGES WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS AND CREATION OF ART."

The event involved more than 30 artists who created murals and pieces around Honolulu. It's a week long event and ends with a “black out” session where most of the pieces created for the event will be painted over "to reinforce the importance of process in art".

Most of the murals were around Kakaako, but on this day (Saturday), another event was taking place making it too busy to try and browse the rest of it (sooo, looking forward to next year). At the loft, where the main "get-together" took place, there were a couple of live-art sessions and a pop-up shop and music and lots of people, cool cameras, and fun. I wish I brought a wider angled lens because the area was a tight fit, not enough room to get around with a 50mm, now I know.

It's an event I'll look forward to next year. For more information, check out their website! http://www.powwowhawaii.com
