University Of Hawai'i - ART EXHIBITION: WAIKIKI PARC FEATURES JONATHAN HOLSHUE

ART EXHIBITION: WAIKIKI PARC FEATURES JONATHAN HOLSHUE

October 1, 2015 -- January 8, 2016

Public Reception: Thursday, October 1, 2015 / 6-8pm

Parc Promenade Gallery, Waikiki Parc Hotel

Jonathan Holshue's glass sculptures are highlighted as part of an expanded arts partnership of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM), the Halekulani and its sister hotel, the Waikiki Parc.

Jonathan Holshue, a recent graduate of the UHM Department of Art + Art History, received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a focus in glass in May, 2015. As a teenager, he moved from the East Coast to Hawai‘i and was introduced to a different culture and way of life that he quickly embraced. He states, "It was at UH Mānoa that I first worked with glass as an artistic medium; I was hooked. Glass has so much power, in a way, like lava. It also encourages teamwork, and it pushes the artist to experiment, fail, and succeed. Besides working with glass, my other passions include cooking, which I have done professionally for over six years." Obtaining an MFA degree and teaching are in his plans for the future.

For the first time in this series of up-and-coming young artists' exhibitions at the Waikiki Parc, Aaron Cardenas, guitarist and UHM music student, will provide music as part of the opening reception. Cardenas expects to complete his Bachelor of Music degree this fall and plans to attend graduate school. The recipient of a full scholarship in 2013, Cardenas attended a 10-day master class with Benjamin Verdery, professor of guitar from Yale University, and was one of a few selected to perform a solo recital. He has been teaching and performing professionally since he was 16.
