The Waimea Arts Council joins the Waimea Trails & Greenways group in celebration of National Trails Day with a month-long exhibit about trails (June 1-30). Artists in Hawaii can take inspiration from the many trails that crisscross the island and connect with our rich heritage, capturing the diverse beauty from ocean vistas to snowy mountain peaks or maybe just a little slice of trail in its wondrous aliveness.
