EDIT PICK
BEST POLITICAL, SOCIAL, MULTI-MEDIA ARTS EVENT WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR
The War & Peace exhibit at the former Elan Vital Gallery
For 21 days in June, Makawao Town was on fire. From June 8 to June
29 this year, the largest collective anti-war art show in the U.S. took
place at the former Elan Vital Gallery on Makawao Ave. The exhibit
featured over 100 artists, 206 works in mixed media, over 600 prayer
flags created by local school kids, and energetic events that packed
the place every night, from spoken word competitions and peace parades,
to George Bush roasts and live punk rock performances. Not a typical
art exhibition by any means; although some of the art was “pretty,”
most was anything but: full of satirical that was both painful and
true, and ultimately far more beautiful. Visit www.mauistopthewar.com
