AWARD
The University of Hawai'i Art Gallery

Southwest Chinese Minorities wins a Pele Regional ADDY Award for book
design at the 31st annual Pele Awards ceremony held at the Hilton Hawaiian

With scholarly essays and 345 stunning color

is an outstanding and rare publication that provides seminal and significant
contributions to the fields of textiles and costume research. It presents a

Gallery Director Lisa Yoshihara stated, "This recognition clearly demonstrates
the caliber of work our students do. The gallery is committed to giving our
students a quality education and professional opportunities to work with faculty
and staff."

costumes from Southwest China that was held at the UH Art Gallery from September
21 to November 30, 2008 and subsequently traveled to the Chazen Museum of Art,
Madison Wisconsin and the Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe, New
Mexico. The collection on loan from Taiwan-based collector Huang Ying Feng
focused on a region of topographic, climatic and human diversity, home to 31 of
China's 56 ethnic groups.
