Active, spontaneous beautiful, the place is fresh and new, the time is ripe for LIVE ART NOW. First, the FIFTY FIFTY SKATE and SURF Collective, a young talented big ISLAND group of visual artists, leads the night...and then the SHOW the lead band is in from Maui, 'THE EASY' they are an amazing funk, rock, roots Hawaiian soul group. They are flanked by a SLAM POET of the NYC reality JON SANDS. Then, it is such a pleasure to mention, local bellydance group the SHAKTI DANCE MOVEMENT blesses the space with their original, mystic goddess truth. OH, and ELI CLemens starts the whole deal with ancient DRUMS sounding the Orisha chants of old with the entire Waimanalo crew. NEED I say more? OK, circus performers, MC SEE, DJ JOULZ......mmmmmm

Visual ART
Featured Artist: Fifty/Fifty is a vision inspired by a group of individuals whose goal is to pay homage to the skate and surf culture, which has fueled our endeavors and influenced our minds. Art can be defined in many different ways - painting, sculpture, etc - no matter how you define it, one thing remains at its core: self-expression. Both surfing and skating are sports that that rely on individual creativity; we want to explore this creative link and share the experience with others, whatever the by-product may end up being.

Fifty/Fifty is a collective of contemporary and culturally literate artists, emerging and established, but always relevant. Our intention is to create, motivate, and engage the skate, surf, and art community in this special event. This show exists in honor of the surf and skateboarding legacy which has fundamentally improved the quality of our lives. Expect the unexpected.
