The Hawai'i State Legislature is set to host the annual Art at the Capitol event, providing an opportunity for the public to engage with lawmakers and explore the work of local artists. This year's theme, 'Urban Canvases: Culture in Motion,' delves into the Hawaiian art renaissance through the lenses of hip-hop and streetwear. The event will showcase a variety of artistic expressions, including kōʻnane and lauhala artists, filmmakers, ballet dancers, and music from the Hawai'i Youth Symphony. Representative Jeanné Kapela, chair of the House Culture and Arts Committee, is in her second year of hosting the event. She expressed enthusiasm about the Capitol coming alive with art lovers and the unique opportunity to welcome people to the Capitol. The event is free to attend and will take place from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 17, at the Hawai'i State Capitol in Honolulu.
