Mamo Awards 2008: Celebrating Our Masters

 Bishop Museum will begin the third annual Maoli Arts Month (MAMo) by honoring a select number of Native Hawaiian master artists with the exhibition, MAMo Awards 2008: Celebrating our Masters in the Joseph M. Long Gallery.

Coordinated by Bishop Museum’s Noelle Kahanu, MAMo Awards 2008: Celebrating our Masters honors six Hawaiian master artists who have tirelessly championed the cause of Native Hawaiian arts. The exhibition celebrates these artists through the presentation of artworks that attest to their lifetime achievements.

The art exhibition is part of MAMo, a month-long community-based event in May celebrating Native Hawaiian art, artists, and cultural practitioners with a host of activities and events at a variety of venues throughout Honolulu, including the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, Chinatown Arts District, The Arts and Marks Garage, as well as Bishop Museum.
