New Exhibitions At Hawaii State Museum: Enriched by Diversity Enriched by Diversity  Enriched by Diversity: This exhibition reflects a mix of Hawaii's ethnic and cultural traditions through 132 works of art by 105 artists. In a wide variety of artistic styles, movements, and media, the exhibition illustrates the varied cultural influences that fuel the creativity of HawaiÔi's artists. Predominately comprised of works dating from the 1960s to the present, the exhibition depicts the expression of artists throughout the state and their profound contributions toward understanding the people of HawaiÔi and their aspirations.Throughout the exhibition, Western art forms blend with traditional folk art forms of HawaiÔi's multi-cultural population like Hawaiian kapa (bark cloth), Ôumeke (wooden calabash), and quilts, Japanese shizu embroidery and raku pottery. In much of the art, a Western aesthetic is combined with the traditional aesthetic of Pacific Island and Asian cultures, a testament to HawaiÔi's unique geographic location and its history as a crossroads for people and ideas.
