Equality HI is proud to present Queer and Abled Hawai’i Artists Collaborative Art Exhibit
One Gallery
Hilo Bay Front
5:30pm to 7:30pm
One of two unique Equality Hi sponsored art exhibits for Pride month, Queer and Abled Hawai’i Artists Collaborative is a pioneering platform that integrates the perspectives and talents of queer and disabled artists into a tapestry of inclusive creativity, in the Puna district of Hawai‘i Island. The Equality HI Queer and Abled Hawai‘i Artists Collaborative consisted of ten artists and four artist facilitators, creating unique mixed media artwork in a two-day intensive. With partnerships from Abled Hawai’i Artists and Full Life Hawai’i, artists with disabilities were provided individual support through paid Direct Support Professionals.
One of our featured artists, Abbie Rabinowitz, Seaview Performing Arts Center & Education (She/Her) states: “People need to connect and art is the bridge for people to express themselves with others without a sense of good or bad or failure…it eliminates barriers. Being able to work on each other’s artwork and pass it around, encourage others, and invite others to work on our art…that’s unique!” “I want to continue this work in my teaching, because it breaks down barriers. I’m so glad I was invited to attend because I’m having a unique experience! Wouldn’t it be great if I approached the community as if they’re already artists and let’s do something together. I really think that is the next step…” Another featured artist, Avalon Oradea (They/Them) speaks to the creative process and learning of new techniques: “Being surrounded by other queer and also disabled artists has been really phenomenal. And then resin pouring yesterday, working with the fire, working with wood burning, these are traditions I’m not familiar with So…brain expansion! It’s been really really fun!” …” Another featured artist, Kami Carter-Sullivan (She/Her) speaks of their experience of inclusion and representation: “Having a place to meet people of the same life. They struggle the same as I have…was life-changing! These people I’m going to be friends with… a lifetime. To be able to talk to people and share ideas and be creative…it was really amazing to me. I’ll never forget it. I never thought of myself as an artist. But after this, I’m an artist, and believe that with all my heart…because of what these people showed me!”
Join Equality HI as we celebrate Pride Month, featuring queer artists and their fabulous artwork!

Teen Metalsmithing-Summer Art Experience
Donkey Mill Art Center
78-6670 Mamalahoa Hwy, Holualoa
10:00am to 3:00pm
Kipuka
ʻO ka makamae a mālama ʻia
The Precious and Protected
Imagine you are a great winged creature soaring above our island of Hawaiʻi, of lands untouched by humans. Stretches of barren lava, dark oceans of aʻa and pahoehoe for as far as the eyes can see. In the distance, islands of ancient forests emerge as olivine gems, an oasis, a kipuka.
In this 5-day metalsmithing session with artist Theresa Lovering-Brown, students will explore kipuka through the lens of ʻohana or family. Sessions are designed for students to acquire the fundamentals to metalsmithing, working with nonferrous metal sheet and wire, along with the vocabulary of metalsmithing. Students will learn to identify qualities of various metals, measure, mark and transfer designs onto their metal and saw out shapes using a jewelers’ saw. We will then explore textures and add dimension by doming and forming flat sheet. By the third session, cold connections are introduced, allowing you to join elements together with wire and tube rivets. In our final session, students will “antique” their pieces with natural patinas, and learn to make their own jewelry findings to complete their wearable pieces. This experience will culminate in a student share out and discussion with other age groups in the Summer Art Experience program. For more info: https://donkeymillartcenter.org/event/?event=5507
