In honor of Chinese New Year, we hosted a Year of the Snake art contest! Congratulations to the winner of this contest, Natalie from @kopina.art! Mahalo nui loa to all 17 artists who participated.

Mahalo nui loa for an incredible evening! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our gallery show at Māpuna Mānoa Gallery —we had an amazing turnout! Your support means the world to us and to our featured artists. This event featured the inspiring works of three local artists: Brook Parker, Nainoa Rosehill, and Kawehi Mahi-Roberts. If you missed the event, there’s still time to experience this stunning collection—the gallery will be open for viewing until March 31st, 2025.

In the vibrant and culturally-rich environment of Hawai'i, protecting your creative works is essential. We were honored to have Ryan K. Hew from Hew & Bordenave in the Ki'ikau Printers studio to speak with us about how intellectual property laws can safeguard your unique artistic expressions, ensure that your cultural contributions are respected, and help you thrive in a competitive market.
