Aloha Big Island Community

The opening reception for the Contemporary Craft Invitational at Wailoa Center Friday, September 4th was a big deal attracting a huge crowd of over three hundred visitors though out the evening. Most of the artists were in attendance and exhibit coordinator, metal artist herself, Liz Miller introduced each artist and offered a bit of their background to the audience. Also in the spotlight was Le Notley’s train exhibit in the Fountain Gallery where he was running his trains and answering questions from an enthusiastic crowd. It was a colorful evening. Both exhibits will run through the month and close on September 24th.
