The annual exhibition is a celebration of the dedication, talent and growth of Windward CC<\/abbr> art students throughout the academic year. Each piece reflects not only technical skill but also a unique voice shaped by the college\u2019s strong foundation in Hawaiian values, cultural learning and the natural environment of Koʻolaupoko<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Celebrate the remarkable work created in the energetic and productive environment of the Windward CC<\/abbr> studios\u2026 It\u2019s our students, coming together from all walks of life, sharing space, sharing ideas, sharing support for one another in their challenges, that makes Windward CC<\/abbr> the great place that it is,” said Bryce Myers, assistant professor of art.<\/p>\n

Windward CC<\/abbr>\u2019s art programs challenge students to expand their creative boundaries while engaging deeply with cultural knowledge of Kanaka ʻŌiwi<\/span> (Native Hawaiian) and the natural history of the ʻāina<\/span> (land). The result is a body of work that is rich in meaning, connection and identity\u2014art that is both technically refined and rooted in a strong sense of place.<\/p>\n
