Guitarist Dayton Watanabe will be coming to the Hawai‘i State Art Museum for First Friday in August. As a soloist, Dayton will be sharing his musical talent on Hawaiian slack key guitar, as well as weaving in contemporary and pop classics. Join us August 2nd from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the second floor of the No. 1 Capitol District Building. First Friday in July was a toe tappin’ great time!

The Second Annual Star-Studded Evening of Jazz and Blues enthralled our audience of more than seven hundred on a hot July night. Master of Ceremonies Al Harrington kept the night’s pace seamless and smooth. Ernest Golden, Ginai, Shari Lynn, and Starr Kalahiki were stunning as usual, performing with the impeccable Chuck James Trio. HiSAM would like to thank the Hawai‘i Friends of Civil Rights and all the performers for a wonderful night. We anticipate another great concert next year!

Next month’s First Friday on September 6th features James McCarthy and his many talents. As a Teaching Artist with the SFCA Artists in the Schools Program, James is no stranger to the Hawai‘i State Art Museum—we look forward to each time he shares his inspired creativity with HiSAM. This September, you can expect to be entertained and educated!
The galleries of HiSAM will be open during your visit.

Galleries are open from 6 to 8:45 p.m. on First Friday. As the museum's supply of chairs are limited, low folding chairs and mats are recommended at the second floor open courtyard, which overlooks the newly opened Sculpture Garden. Don't miss this special treat
