  • 40Th Annual Kiki Raina Tahiti Fete
    Public Service Announcement 40th Annual Kiki Raina Tahiti Fete (Tahitian Dance and Cultural Festival) Golden Valley High School – March 22, 23, 24, 2019 The Kiki Raina Tahiti Fete is the longest existing, annually held, Tahitian dance and cultural festival outside of French Polynesia and we are celebrating our 40th consecutive year! Come to the event to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of Tahiti. Our event features a dance competition with people entering from all ranges and performing to live musicians and drums. Island Style food will also be available throughout the weekend as well as Polynesian craft booths straight from Hawaii and the Polynesian diaspora of California. Friday’s events begin at 5pm and end at 10pm. They will showcase dance presentations called Ahuroa, which is a synchronized dance performed by elegantly dressed women to a sung Tahitian narrative, often composed in waltz time. The Masters and Grand Masters categories will also be competing. The evening is completed by the Maeva Merced Pageant, where beautiful young men and women and children contend for the Maeva title and to represent the festivities. On Saturday, beginning at 9am, Solo dancers will compete in both eliminations and finals, with ages ranging from 4 to as long as they can continue to shimmy. Categories will be in both beginners and professional, with both men and women competing. During lunch, there will be a “Tamari’i Exhibition”, showcasing tiny dancers that are too young to compete, but still love to dance in costume and have fun! Then the Group Drumming competition, composed of the most accomplished Tahitian Drumming groups in our area will take the stage.

It is the largest art museum in Canada. Jost’s last day at HoMA will be March 11, and the Board of Trustees will immediately begin a search for his successor. The Executive Committee of the museum’s Board of Trustees has appointed Allison Wong, Deputy Director of Operations and Administration, as Interim Director. Jost joined the Honolulu Museum of Art in 2011, with the vision to make the museum a transformative, accessible place that reflects and strengthens its community. Under his leadership, the museum’s finances dramatically improved, with debt and pension obligations reduced by 85 percent; the education program has expanded its reach and capacity, serving more than 30,000 students and adults through tours and classes annually; membership has doubled since 2013, with the majority of new members under the age of 40; and he has made key hires that have resulted in an energized operation and visitor experience. “In his almost five years here, he brought a clear vision to the museum, helping solidify the merger of the Honolulu Academy of Arts and The Contemporary Museum, strengthening its relationship with city and state leadership, and systematically tackling tasks to improve the visitor experience and education outreach,’” says Vi Loo, President of the HoMA Board of Trustees.

  • Cruise Planners
    John Paul Berry Jr [email protected] www.bellecruises.com 443-889-5991 HONOLULU, HI OVERVIEW Introduction Visitors to Honolulu may hear that, because it's Hawaii's largest city, it is less "Hawaiian" than the rest of the state. The high-rise office buildings and busy traffic of Honolulu don't match people's romantic ideal of what Hawaii should be—remote, palm-fringed beaches and lavish resorts. In truth, Honolulu is probably the most Hawaiian part of the state, because it best reflects the reality of today's Hawaii. Honolulu contains a multicultural mix of people, a beautiful landscape of greenery and ocean, and a place where amazing events have unfolded—many of them recounted in the city's historic sites and museums. All that's exciting about big-city life—theater, opera, museums, shopping, nightclubs, fine dining—is set against Honolulu's backdrop of majestic mountains, lush rain forests and sweeping vistas. With Waikiki along one edge of the city, travelers to Honolulu even have a beach resort. Waikiki remains Hawaii's busiest tourist spot and makes a good departure point for exploring recreational possibilities in Honolulu and the rest of Oahu. Active travelers can ramble through a rainforest and discover ancient religious shrines, swim with the green sea turtles off Waikiki Beach and surf past Diamond Head. Other activities include hiking a coastline trail, watching for humpback whales, visiting World War II memorials or playing a round of golf at a variety of public and resort golf courses. Visitors to Honolulu can choose from the best of both worlds—the city's bustle and the beauty of nature.

HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I (DATE GOES HERE)—As China continues its massive modernization, the staggering pace of construction has unearthed textbook-altering archeological finds, and today, more than ever, there is a direct connection between the past and present. Perhaps the most exciting discoveries are those that have revealed the Six Dynasties period to be characterized first and foremost by multicultural diversity—when traditional Chinese culture and influences from as far away as India and Persia came together to transform each other in innovative ways that would forever change the course of the future. Going on view April 28 is Art in a Time of Chaos: Masterworks From Six Dynasties China, 3rd–6th Centuries, an exhibition organized by the New York–based China Institute Gallery, and opening first at the Honolulu Museum of Art before going to Manhattan in September. The show is an exceptional opportunity to see these recent archeological discoveries, some of which have never before been displayed outside China. The approximately 115 cultural relics, primarily from the Nanjing Museum and the Shanxi Provincial Museum, include ceramics, sculpture, calligraphy and painting, such as a set of remarkable carved and painted panels from the sarcophagus of a Central Asian official in the northern Chinese court.
