ConTempoThis glittery spring gala is our premier fundraising event. It features the sale of selected contemporary art created by artists from the mainland as well as Hawai’i. A gourmet dinner and live music add to the festivities. ConTempo 2012 is chaired by Candice Naylor-Ching. Click here for details. "If the guests don’t go home saying, “O what a night!” then we haven’t done our job,” says Cherye Pierce who chaired the 2011 event yet again after a most successful 2008 event that defied all fundraising expectations--even in light of the worst stock market disaster in most of our collective memories.

Chair Cheryl
Hetherington and her team created a memorable event for all.

October 23, 2010 - Silver Clay Workshop The Silver Clay Workshop was a big hit. We had 18 students attend. Click here for photos of the workshop. The picture of the book cover is a book that Gordon Uyehara recommended to those of us who would like to learn more and the pictures of the elaborate, large finished pieces of jewelry were SAMPLES of Gordon's art work/jewelry and not student work. The students made very simple, beginning level pieces that were pendants, charms or a small broach. See Gordon's website at www.honudream.com/ April 17, 2010 - Pottery Painting with Gail Hazlehurst - Click here for details and photos The Friends of TCM has begun providing workshops for adults, enabling them to come to the museum for a few hours and leave with an item that they have created.
