The community is invited to ArtMania, a lively and fun-filled free arts event at the Art Building, University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

ArtMania showcases studio demonstrations, interactive art activities, live music, performances, lectures, sales of student and faculty artwork and t-shirts, and food for purchase by Papa Luck's, a popular campus food vendor.

This second annual free arts event was conceived and organized by graduate art students from the Department of Art and Art History to develop community awareness and interest in the department's work and to raise funds to support the annual BFA and graduate student exhibitions.

Demonstrations include ceramics wheel-throwing and raku, glass blowing, live drawing and painting, weaving, bronze casting, printmaking, digital printing, bookbinding and more!

Performances include live music, theatre, and dance. Art history lectures are also scheduled.

For a nominal fee visitors can participate in interactive art activities such as screen-printing their own t-shirts (bring a light-colored shirt or purchase one on site) and sushi tile glass-casting. For glass activities information, reservations, and fees contact Rick Mills 956-5258 or rmills8189@aol.com.

Exhibitions include The 10th International Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition, Dan Carbone's MFA thesis exhibition, and an exhibition and sales of works by students and faculty.

The annual Mother's Day glass, ceramics, and printmaking sales that were usually held in late April, have been rescheduled to coincide with ArtMania.
