About the event
Designed to “light up” Wailoa as a living cultural space, Ho‘ā Wailoa moves beyond passive observation and invites participants to actively engage with place. Through a series of intergenerational experiences, keiki, ‘ohana, and the broader community are encouraged to listen deeply, create meaningfully, and reflect collectively on their relationship to ʻāina.
Insights from a Talk Story on April 30 will inform and inspire a free ‘Ohana Art Day on Saturday, May 16 from 10:00AM–1:00PM, featuring local artist and block printer Mālie Moana. Light refreshments will be served.
Attendees are encouraged to bring items they would like to block print. The event is free and open to the public. During the May 16 event, HIAA will announce its Keiki Art Contest, encouraging original artworks inspired by the stories of Wailoa and the Pi‘opi‘o area.
Ho‘ā Wailoa reflects a broader vision: that spaces like Wailoa are not just venues, but living environments…
