Bishop Museum Presents Arts Night

# Bishop Museum Presents Arts Night

Free event will invite keiki and ʻohana to view, experience, and take part in art throughout the Museum's 15-acre campus

Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum is pleased to present Bishop Museum Arts Night, a free event for keiki and ʻohana to explore different art forms and engage in art-focused activities.

Bishop Museum Arts Night Friday, December 3, 2021 5:30-8:30 p.m.

Participating partners include Art Explorium and local artist Solomon Enos, among others. Due to limited capacity preregistration is required, and walk-ins will not be admitted. Guests can learn more and pre-register at BishopMuseum.org/Calendar/Bishop-Museum-Arts-Night.

Bishop Museum Arts Night is sponsored by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, working to improve the lives of Native Hawaiians, and in part by the Johnson ʻOhana Foundation.

While Arts Night's target audience is families with children, all lifelong learners and art enthusiasts are welcome to attend. Bishop Museum is especially inviting Native Hawaiian ʻohana, keiki, and other community members to take part in Arts Night.

"Bishop Museum's kuleana is the preservation and perpetuation of the culture, history, and natural environment of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. An important part of this is the sharing of art – not only connecting the art of our islands' histories with today's contemporary artists, but also inspiring the next generation of artists and creators," said Brandon Bunag, Bishop Museum's vice president of public programming and interim director of education.

"Bishop Museum Arts Night enables local ʻohana and keiki to not only view and experience art of many types and forms at Bishop Museum, but also take part in it, explore their imagination, and express their creativity. We are very grateful for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and its ʻAhahui Grant for their support of this event, and of art in Hawaiʻi."

During Bishop Museum Arts Night, guests are invited to also explore the Museum's 15-acre campus and discover Hawaiʻi's unique and unparalleled cultural and natural history.

"See Kalaniʻōpuʻu's feather ʻahu ʻula (cape) and mahiole (helmet) in Hawaiian Hall; check out Hawaiʻi's animal and plant biodiversity in the Science Adventure Center; explore new exhibitions like Tatau: Marks of Polynesia in the J. M. Long Gallery and Expedition Dinosaur: Rise of the Mammals in the Castle Memorial Building; and experience the temporary installation KAIMANA, presented by HIFF41 and Taiji Terasaki. There's literally something for everyone," said Bunag.

\Expedition Dinosaurs: Rise of the Mammals* requires an additional $4.95 exhibit fee, which can be purchased at the Museum's Admission Desk.
