Beauty, music, and theatre soar from the walls, through the lips and to the streets of First Friday. Muralist John Elliot fills the main hall with his enormous wave paintings, Photographer Timothy Pinault creates an atmospheric photo installation, and then the performances begin. Guitar virtuoso Scott Huckabay, fuses shamanistic percussion with electrifying guitar thru a myriad of pedals and loops. Reggae/Blues Local Touring Band FreeSound, adds its high energy compositions. Theatre and Dance merge as HUTC collaborates with Ginnko Marischino in a hip-hop theatre myth, a performance from Vagina MOnologues, juggler The Amazing TJ comes in off the Waikiki streets, World Percussionist Michael Wall teams with Eli Clemens in an audience participatory rhythm build, Capoeira Cordao de Ouro brings the Brazilian flavor, Jonathan Heroux leads his new band, MC SEE and one TBA national touring slam poet come to add to these layers of social, political, and cultural relevance.

ART GALLERY OPENING: Featured Artist: John Elliott is a surf artist who paints waves from the surfer's viewpoint. As an avid surfer and surf photographer, John paints from photos he takes in the water at various surf spots around the islands. Among his current collection of acrylic paintings are seascapes and collage style frankenwaves.

The so-called frankenwave paintings are many small individual painted waves that add up to create one large wave. This idea is similar to a photo collage but is made out of paintings.

John has a background in mural painting and enjoys working on a large scale. This translates well for painting the waves of Hawai`i. His latest mural is a 5 X 8 ft seascape outside of Ong King Art Center.

During this First Friday John will paint a new mural on the corner of North King and River street.

Emerging Artist: Timothy Pinault. Photography. A dramatic photo installation merging words, and visual images. It is a deeply atmospheric revelation of personal history and adopted memories. Pinault confronts the loss of his mother through his art. Photographs from his inherited, dilapidated,18th century home fuse with writings of those who lived inside.
