I have a student going to Hawaii next week to visit her children.
To make up class time, her assignment is to visit some pottery/
ceramics shows, people, museums. etc. Are there any ceramics
exhibitions in Hawaii at this time?
TIA

For anyone coming to Hawai'i in the next month or so, you may first of
all visit the Artists of Hawai'i show at the new First Hawai'ian Center in
downtown Honolulu. It is an exhibition of artists included in a new book
on the arts in Hawai'i, and includes three ceramics artists. This
exhibition opens to the public in November 12 and continues through the
19th of February.
There will also be opening in December the Artists of Hawai'i exhibition
at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, which will include ceramics. The Academy
is also in Honolulu. It has a wonderful collection of Asian ceramics,
including Korean punchong, Koryo, and Yi dynasty wares, as well as Chinese
and Japanese ceramics. A contemporary section includes some ceramics, but
is quite small.
At the Contemporary Museum there are Arnold Zimmerman and Viola Frey
pieces in the garden area. This is a wonderful museum that was converted
from a residence almost ten years ago.
The Honolulu Advertiser building has an excellent collection of
contemporary art, and a lot of contemporary ceramics -- several Arneson's
including the Buffalo Bob piece and some Pollack portraits. The former
owner of the Advertiser (obviously a newspaper) was/is an art collector,
and the whole newspaper building is filled with paintings, sculpture,
ceramics, etc.
The University has a great ceramics program (please understand that I am a
bit prejudiced here, since I am part of it), and the current exhibition at
the Art Gallery is the faculty show, which includes work of the ceramics
faculty. The exhibition is finished sooner -- around the end of October.
Small galleries over the island often carry some ceramics also.
