FHC EXHIBITION:
Schaefer Portrait Challenge - on view through
September 11 at TCM at FHC
(FHC Galleries will be closed September 12 through October 8, 2009)
(FHC Galleries will be closed September 12 through October 8, 2009)
The Schaefer Portrait Challenge was first held in 2003
in Maui. The triennial exhibition was inspired by the acclaimed Archibald Prize
portrait competition held in Australia. The exhibition was organized and
presented by the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, and has become a showcase of
outstanding Hawaii artists and a chronicle of the changing face of Hawaii. The
selected portraits include a broad range of interpretation and styles-from
representational to experimental in drawing, painting, and sculpture-all of
which reveal the rewards of observation and the essence of human connections.
Portrait subjects include people of all ages who represent the multicultural
profile of Hawaii and their compelling stories, seen through the artists'
portrayals.
