“Building STEAM” is the theme at Palikū Arts Festival<\/a>, a unique interactive arts experience set for Saturday, April 6, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. in and around the Palikū Theatre, plaza and art and science spaces on the Windward Community College<\/a> campus in Kāneʻohe<\/span>. The festival is free to the public and open to all ages.<\/p>\n

“This year’s theme invites people to note the common ground between the arts and the sciences—the art of science and the science of art,” said festival co-chair Ben Moffat. “Scientists and artists have more in common than many people think. For example, scientists often use intuition in their research, and they have to be creative in designing experiments—and artists often geek-out about their materials and techniques.”<\/p>\n

Attendees are encouraged to come in costume or festive clothing, or dress-up at the festival and join in the “Art Strut” at 1:11 p.m. The festival’s emphasis is on “playing” and exploring artful interests that intersect with science. Windward CC<\/abbr> art professors, instructors and their students will be on hand (with supplies provided) to assist those who want to express their creativity in a variety of ways—from painting, drawing and sculpting to moving, acting or making music, prints, poetry and prose. All art supplies are provided free of charge!<\/p>\n
