For its first show of 2022, we are proud to host the Architects as Artists exhibition, with a public artist’s reception on First Friday, February 4 from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Architects as Artists is an invitational exhibition featuring 34 architects and architectural designers in Hawaiʻi who are also active artists.
