The Mendonca Building's Courtyard will be open in October with the usual music, local art and jewels in conjunction with Chinatown Loft tenants upstairs. Come through the Bamboo Courtyard Gate or go directly to the Second Floor through two choices: the Smith Street door or up the red Courtyard stairs to meet our new artists and view scheduled performances upstairs in 202, 203, 205, 209 and 215 among others.

        ROSE WOLFE and her merry band of UH costume designers will be back offering their “Costumes in the Courtyard” with plenty of new items. On the Rack will be Vintage Clothing and accessories with a special selection for HALLOWEEN!

         OTIS SCHAPER will be providing his usual mix of contemporary and popular guitar styling will be provided in his usual place after several months’ absence. He offers many original sons, some created just for his daughter. You may have heard him play with The Strangers at Jimmy Buffet's in Waikiki or the Pipeline Café.

        JULES SCHAPER, his wife, will return from recent Mainland travels and will be hanging her latest works on the brick. Her paintings are primarily of a Hawaiian theme and give the appearance of batik on rice paper. Additional work of hers can be seen on Printscapes.com.

      ART NAKANISHI will also be returning to the Courtyard this month with 20 original acrylic paintings. He has been primarily a ceramist for the past 23 years, with works exhibited at Tropical Clay in Ward Center. Most of his “pinchpot” vases are meant for ikebana & chabana arrangements while his wood sculptures have the wabisabi feel. His art training began at the Academy of Arts, where his father was a long time member. He continued with art studies at UH Manoa, concentrating on sculpture. He was in Japan doing further studies when he “fell” into ceramics and currently he is working with acrylics on canvas.

       ALESSANDRA JANN-JORDAN returns as well in October. “Reverie by Alessandra” (previously known as Long Lost Treasures) is an individually run hand crafted jewelry and cards business based out of Honolulu. Every jewelry design is hand made using semi-precious stones, fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystallized elements, vintage coral, a variety of metals, and hand glass blown beads – all collected from the designer’s travels around the world. The greeting cards are created with layers of beautiful hand crafted papers, originating from countries as Korea, France and Italy. The cards are one of a kind and irreproducible, as the vintage elements used to decorate them are unique, recycled and often antique. Both jewelry and cards can be custom made and tailored to the client's specifications for such events as weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. She loves the creative process, and takes pride in her customer’s satisfaction and enjoyment of her products.

        SHAYNE TURNER, will be offering her unique jewelry that she calls Grand Strands. Crafted individually and by hand in the Windward Temple Valley, each unique piece celebrates many of nature’s own creations, reflecting places and colors of our Islands.

        DONNA BROWN of "Raising Cane" will feature her Polynesian Pendants. Donna, a graphic artist, used to create art work for Local Motion. She now has a line of ceramic pendants called Pasifika.

        TINA YOUNG will be back from a Mainland tour at her table offering her special homemade Luscious Lanikai jams and Jellies. Featured will be Mango and Mountain Apple.

Entry to the venue is either on Maunakea Street or Smith Street through the Bamboo into the Courtyard. This event is free and open to the public.
