We hope you are all well and enjoying your creative journey on this beautiful Garden Island.
As Covid 19 continues, we're all affected by the challenges, restrictions and changes. KSA is no different.
Recently, our Art Kaua`i Juror, Bob Soppelsa, made the difficult decision to cancel his plans to travel to Kaua`i from Washington DC due to increasing Covid cases in Hawaii. Quickly, as Co-Chairs, we huddled for an alternative Juror and, to our delight, our first choice as replacement agreed to take on this important role.
Juror for Art Kaua`i 2021 is now David Kuraoka, Professor of Art, Emeritus, born and raised on Kaua`i and named a Living Treasure of Hawaii in 1987. We are so pleased that David is available to take over. His art background is extensive and although KSA tries to bring an off-island art expert to act as Juror, we know that David will build a great Show. He stated that he especially loves to see the younger artist talent on our Island.
Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, the Board has decided to cancel an in-person Art Kaua`i Opening Reception. Instead we will video the Juror's Walk & Talk, Award Presentations and the Show. It will be installed on KSA's YouTube channel. We also plan a Zoom Juror art talk...details to follow.
Art Entry Day is Saturday, Sept. 11, 11am - 5pm. The KSA Board, requests that artists planning to submit work for review create a reservation through email. All County Covid regulations will be in place during submission process. More Info below.
KSA has maintained its full Exhibition schedule since Covid appeared in the Spring of 2020. The Board follows all County and State Guidelines, as we continue to Celebrate the Arts!
Stay Safe and keep creating!
Aloha from your ALL VOLUNTEER Board of Directors!
