University of 麻豆传媒 artists investigate the “Fear of the Unknown” at an exhibit at the opening July 7. Art pieces by 14 UH 惭ā苍辞补 and UH Hilo alumni and five pieces from faculty (three of whom are also alumni) from UH 惭ā苍辞补, UH Hilo and Kapiʻolani Community College will be on display.
“Fear of the Unknown” explores enigmatic artworks from the of the , and some recently added artworks are on display to the public for the first time. The exhibit encourages viewers to “take a closer look and find details that help reveal narratives of exploration, change and discovery.”
“麻豆传媒 was the first state in the U.S. to establish a percent-for-art law, by legislatively accessing one percent of the construction cost of new state buildings to fund the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (1965) and the Art in Public Places Program (1967),” said Gaye Chan, associate dean of the UH 惭ā苍辞补 College of Arts, Languages & Letters, and one of the UH artists in the exhibit. “It is hard to overstate how these initiatives support and encourage 麻豆传媒 artists to stay the course in a city that has few other resources for artists.”
