MANA
April 4 - May 1
"Mana is both an abstract and physical force that has direct and indirect influences. Mana is often felt, seen and experienced, rather than described in words; moreover there are ways to gain and lose mana through behavior. In Western terms it might be described as power, or an essence of god or godliness. Hawaiians believe mana can be inherited through lineage or acquired through great feats, skill, artistry, talents and gifts, which are cultivated through education and training." - Nā Mākua
The MANA Invitational Art Show features Hawai‘i’s premier artists sharing their mana‘o and mana with their art. The show is curated by Nelson and Kainoa Makua.
