Windward Community College invites the public to experience a vibrant showcase of student creativity at its Annual Student Art Exhibition at Gallery ʻIolani through May 13, Monday through Saturday, 1—5 p.m. The free exhibit features the work of 55 student artists across a diverse range of media, including ceramics, digital art, drawing, film photography, painting, sculpture and woodworking.
The annual exhibition is a celebration of the dedication, talent and growth of Windward CC art students throughout the academic year. Each piece reflects not only technical skill but also a unique voice shaped by the college’s strong foundation in Hawaiian values, cultural learning and the natural environment of Koʻolaupoko.
“Celebrate the remarkable work created in the energetic and productive environment of the Windward CC studios… It’s our students, coming together from all walks of life, sharing space, sharing ideas, sharing support for one another in their challenges, that makes Windward CC the great place that it is,” said Bryce Myers, assistant professor of art.
Windward CC’s art programs challenge students to expand their creative boundaries while engaging deeply with cultural knowledge of Kanaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) and the natural history of the ʻāina (land). The result is a body of work that is rich in meaning, connection and identity—art that is both technically refined and rooted in a strong sense of place.
