February Brings "Anything Goes" to Waimea

During the month of February at the Firehouse Gallery in Waimea, on Hawai`i Island, the Waimea Arts Council presents its annual "Anything Goes" art show. Artist members of the Waimea Arts Council are invited to display two pieces of their work, any medium, any subject, according to published policies. This show gives artists an opportunity to display their favorite or recent creations.

Ê The show will include oils, watercolors, photography, collages, sculpture, colored pencil, glass works, jewelry, pastels, and more. A reception for artists and friends is scheduled for Saturday, February 12th, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. This is a good time to catch up on what your favorite local artists are doing and check out the latest changes in the old fire station.

The Firehouse Gallery, a project of the Waimea Arts Council, is located in the old firehouse, the red building within the historic corner at the main stoplight and crossroads in Waimea. Scheduled gallery hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Waimea Arts Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the arts in North Hawai`i and is supported primarily by donations from its members. Membership is open to all artists and supporters of the arts. WAC's gallery telephone number is 887-1052.






Gallery Reminders

We will be enforcing these rules in the future:

  • When a show is covering more than one artist, every artist must be a member.
  • If you didn't put in the volunteer time for the year, your donation for sales becomes 40%.
  • Do not hang your own art in the satellite galleries. Leave what you would like to have hung in the satellite galleries for the satellite galleries chair, Merna Watta, to display.
  • No artist is to have more than two pieces displayed in the satellite galleries, except at the discretion of Merna Watta..





President's Message

Since we still have no concrete schedule for theÊconstruction of our historic corner or remodeling of the gallery, we beg everyone's patience.

March will be another Anything Goes Show. We hope that you will heartily participate.

Laurie Kaye's featured artist show in January was stupendous and innovative. Thank you, Laurie.

Again, when we have definitive news of the construction dates, we will keep you informed.

Sincerely,
Judy Folk, President
Sandra Woodford, President

"Anything Goes 2" Show in March 2005

Artist members of the Waimea Arts Council are invited to display two pieces of their work, any medium, almost any subject (no nudes, according to our lease). Due to the size of the gallery and the number of members who enter, we limit the size of a piece to 36" x 36" or the equivalent 1296 square inches. All 2D work must be wired and ready to hang.

Artwork for this show may be submitted at the gallery during the month of February until 2:00 pm on Saturday February 26. The show is scheduled to be up March 1 - 31. But, in order to make this happen we could use some help:

  • accepting/recording entries
  • typing up a price list of all the entries with copies for the gallery
  • typing up labels for the wall
  • hanging the show (February 1)
  • docents (we always need docents)
  • taking the show down after 2:00 pm on Thursday, March 31.

It would also be great if someone could volunteer to be in charge of this show. If you can help with any or all of this, please call Dolly Loo at 885-7671
