HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I—With the 11th annual Honolulu Surf Film Festival about to commence and the HI Sk8 Films Shorts Showcase 2018 slated for late July, the Honolulu Museum of Art is delighted to make skate and surf culture the focal point of this month's Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday: Green Room.
Since there is almost no surfing without the ocean, kids can create art based off of the museum's current water-inspired exhibitions. Keiki can make prints using the patterns fond on kimono in the exhibition The Ripple Effect. They'll also be able to check out Louisa Chase's Black Sea woodcut print found in the exhibition Making Waves before creating their own print using scratchboards.
Thanks to VANS Off the Wall!—a sponsor of the Honolulu Surf Film Festival itself—artist Sean Yoro will be doing a painting demonstration on a giant Van's shoe (we're talking size 66) in the Museum Shop. Kids won't just get to watch Yoro work, they can let their creative juices flow and decorate their own Vans tote bags and trucker hats.
Guests will be entertained by tunes from Hawai‘i’s premier surf rock band Men in Gray Suits and Na Hoku Hanohano Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist Tavana.
The museum
invites visitors to enter the popular monthly drawing contest for young people
age 17 and under. The museum gives contestants a theme and drawing supplies. The
winner receives a Supporting-level membership to the Honolulu Museum of Art
($100 value), and his or her artwork is used to create the following month’s
event brochure and is posted on the museum website. Last month’s winning
drawing will be on the cover of the program for next month’s event.

SPALDING HOUSE FAMILY DAY: Surf's up!
Families can ride the museum’s free shuttle up to Spalding House in Makiki Heights, where the museum has more free art fun. Surf and skate culture go green as kids can use recycled skateboard wheel shavings to create hanging jellyfish.
