WHY: This is the first time artists with ties to Hawaii have been shown as a group at an international art fair. Combining Eastern and Western influences, "Out of Hawai`i" at the Pool Art Fair will showcase some of the artists who work, teach, study and have roots in Hawaii. Viewers will see that the critically engaged art being created in Hawai`i extends far beyond the typical "paradise" images. WHEN: Opening Hours WHO: Artists in the "Out Of Hawai`i" exhibition at the PooL Art Fair are: New York artists count Michele Zalopany, whose solo exhibitions include Gagosian gallery and The Whitney Biennial, and who’s work has been featured in Harpers Magazine and The New York Times, and Peggy Cyphers who has exhibited in numerous solo New York exhibits been reviewed in Art in America and The New York Times.

Tiokasin Ghosthorse & Matou, with Soni Moreno & Ataahua Papa The Lakota cedar flute is an ancient instrument intended to convey emotions and to resemble the human voice. Tonight Tiokasin Ghosthorse, one of the great exponents of this instrument, will play its mesmerizing melodies and will be performing with Matou, a truly original and exquisite trio of indigenous (Lakota, Mauri and Apache/Mayan) musicians. Matou is a fusion of Native American flute music with the powerful traditional chants of the Mauri; acoustic guitar mixes with beautiful vocal harmonies; and funk beats that combine Native American rattles and drum. These musicians are truly a dynamic, vibrant, and accomplished combination of artists, who can’t be missed. AN EVENING CONCERT Start: 7:30 pm
