The Waimea Arts Council is excited to host “Elemental Balance,” a group exhibition by our members, exploring the fundamental forces of nature that shape our world and our lives. Please join us at the opening reception on June 7 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. The show continues through July 27.
From the whisper of wind through ironwood trees to the roar of lava meeting sea, the elements—air, earth, water, and fire—are ever-present on these islands. Elemental Balance invites viewers to reflect on the essential roles these forces play not only in the natural world but in the human experience. Island artists interpret the delicate balance of these primal energies, drawing connections between the land we live on, the water we depend upon, the fire of creation and destruction, and the air that sustains all life. Through painting, sculpture, mixed media, and other forms, this show reveals the elemental threads that tie us to place, to one another, and to the cycles of renewal and transformation.
Home of the Waimea Arts Council, the Firehouse Gallery is open Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is also open on additional days, depending on the availability of docents; call 808-887-1052 to confirm. The back and side galleries feature more members’ original artworks, as well as numerous prints, cards, and jewelry pieces.
