KAMUELA - Kahilu Exhibits is seeking statewide submissions for its Annual Kahilu Juried Exhibition entitled, ‘INTERSECTIONS: Considering Imbalance.’ Artists residing in the state of Hawai'i are asked to enter work that responds to the title of the exhibit. All media will be considered and cash prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners. Deadline to submit entries for the exhibition is April 22, 2018 and applications are being accepted through www.CAFE.org.
“The theme of the juried show was developed by the Kahilu exhibition committee comprised of staff, Board members and professional artists,” said Kahilu Exhibits Coordinator Sally Lundburg. “In a world that seems increasingly polarized, we often find ourselves at metaphorical intersections where a range of forces—cultural, political,economic, emotional—converge. Achieving individual or collective balance when these forces meet and mix may first require disturbances or expressions of resistance. Artists often take a significant role in public discourse when their work is driven by these intersections. In this exhibition, we invite artists to examine the idea of an intersection as not simply where two or more lines meet—a site that you approach, choose a direction, and then continue on—but as a starting place to consider the imbalance of the status quo.”
Kahilu Exhibits is pleased to announce that the exhibition juror will be Andi Campognone, who has over 25 years of arts experience as a curator, administrator and maker. Campognone is the current Museum Manager/Curator for the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in the City of Lancaster, California. She is also an active member of the Holualoa Foundation for Arts and Culture where she leads an annual artist professional development workshop at Donkey Mill Art Center. She volunteers as a regular speaker and mentor to art students at both the undergraduate and graduate level and is on the advisory boards of Start Up Art Fair, Los Angeles Arts Association and the State of Hawaii’s Public Art Program Panel.
The Juried Exhibition will run from May 10 - June 30, 2018 There will be an opening reception and artists’ walkthrough on Thursday, May 10, from 5-7pm, and a no-host bar and light pupu will be on offer.
The Kahilu Theatre Galleries exhibitions are free and open to the public Monday thru Friday, from 9am – 1pm, and during all performances. For more information, visit http://kahilutheatre.org/Exhibits or call (808) 885-6868.

Kahilu Theatre Presents When Strangers Meet in the Mike Luce Studio Friday, January 26, 2018 and Saturday, January 27 at 7 pm
Kamuela, HI – Kahilu Theatre Presents film producer, Jeannette Paulson Hereniko, in her one-woman show, When Strangers Meet, in the Mike Luce Studio on January 26th and 27th, 2018 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $30. In this production Hereniko shares a series of heart-warming stories with candid insights from her globetrotting journey as a film professional. What she discovers beyond the screen shatters her illusions of the world—and herself.
Jeannette Paulson Hereniko moved to Honolulu in 1975 when she was selected to be a Storyteller with the Artist-in-the-School’s program, a position held previously in her home state of Oregon. In When Strangers Meet she tells stories that focus primarily on her 35 years in the film industry. Audience members can expect to hear the inside scoop about her work as the Founding Director of the Hawaii International Film Festival, a position she held from 1981 to 1996, as well as how that compared to working with the famed Sonny Bono when they started the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 1990. She produced the award-winning feature film The Land Has Eyes, which was written and directed by her husband, Vilsoni Hereniko. The movie was shown in the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 and at over 30 international film festivals. When Strangers Meet also reveals moments "behind the scenes" during the making of the movie on her husband's island home of Rotuma, as well as the adventures of going to festivals to screen the film.
Her first one-woman show, Wild Wisdom, debuted in 2001. It was also about her life’s adventures. She performed it in Honolulu, California, and Mexico. The Honolulu Advertiser praised the show- “It’s a highly personal story, told with warmth and candor.” Her film credits include serving as a jury member for International Film Festivals in Berlin, Singapore, Hanoi, Mumbai, and Manila. She is a founding board member of the international organization NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asia Pacific Cinema.) Currently she is a film producer, owner of AsiaPacificFilms.com, and a film curator for Alexander Street, an international film distribution company for universities.
Tickets for When Strangers Meet are $30 and are available for purchase at the Kahilu Theatre Box Office (808) 885-6868, in person at 67-1186 Lindsey Road, Kamuela HI, 96743, or online at Kahilutheatre.org.
The production takes place in the Kahilu Theater’s Mike Luce Studio, a Black Box Venue that was formerly the green room and is now an intimate performance space for music, theatre, conferences, and classes. The venue is named after the Theater’s founding President and long time advocate of the organization’s mission.
