Mark Chai [BFA Alum], Puni Kukahiko [MFA Alum], Marques Hanalei Marzan [BFA Alum], Matthew Kawika Ortiz [BFA Alum], Abigail Romanchak [MFA Alum], and Maika'i Tubbs [BFA Alum] all have work featured in "Hi`iakaikapoliopele: Visual Stories by Contemporary Native Hawaiian Artists".
The exhibition draws inspiration from the epic tale Hi`iakaikapoliopele, Ka Mo`olelo O Hi`iakaikapoliopele, by Ho`oulumahiehie which highlights Hi`iaka's role as a healer, a source of inspiration and icon of the hula traditions. The exhibition is at the Maui Art & Cultural Center from September 12, 2009 to October 24, 2009.
