The ARTS at Marks Garage - JUNE 2018 Update
The ARTS at Marks Garage
We're very happy to tell you that we've signed a new 3-year lease on our space at Marks Garage. The ARTS is here to stay, to continue being your hub for artistic exploration and fun in Chinatown. We hope you'll come down this Friday and celebrate with us. If you are one of our 1001 Friends, your first First Friday drink is on us! If you're not yet one of our 1001 Friends, there's still time to join us. Sign up for an automatic monthly donation to make sure that we can continue to offer amazing programing in the heart of downtown Honolulu!.
Just in case you came by to visit us while our air conditioner was struggling over the last couple of months, we sincerely apologize if you were uncomfortably warm. We're elated to tell you that with help from the amazing team at Aloha State Services, our air conditioner is up and running better than it has in years. Check out our Partners' and other ARTS events and programs below. Mark your calendars and plan to come enjoy the coooooooool! (double entendre intended - see what I did there?!)
