[ART] The title of this juried art exhibit and contest, “Malama Wao Akua,” means to preserve and take care of the upper-forested watersheds. If you’ve had the opportunity to make it to the windward side of Haleakala, you’ve already gotten a preview. Otherwise, check out the amazing, ancient rainforest as it’s been reflected by Maui’s own sculptors, painters and photographers at this event, created by the East Maui Watershed Partnership. It’ll be open to the public 5-8 p.m., so that you can partake in the pupus and outdoor screening of Maoli No—Truly Native, a short film about Hawaii’s native ecosystems, as well as witness the awards and blessing. Exhibit runs Sept. 15 through Oct. 12. Viewpoints Gallery is located at 3620 Baldwin Ave. in Makawao. For more info, contact 572-5979. [HEIDI KING]
