HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I—The museum’s
biggest show of the year—Abstract
Expressionism: Looking East from the Far West—is on view and is the focus
of the next Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday: Abstract Expressions.
Artists Satoru
Abe and Harry Tsuchidana, whose work is included in the exhibition, will be at
the event. The day’s two art activities are based on their work and they want
to see what kids create. At one station, kids will use cardboard painted to look like bronze to fashion sculptural trees inspired
by Satoru Abe’s stylized bronze trees. At another station, kids will use
colored paper to create collages inspired by Harry Tsuchidana’s abstract
paintings.
In the Doris Duke Theatre, families can watch free screenings of Kid
Flix 2017, a selection of shorts from the New York International Children’s
Film Festival. Showtimes are at 11:10 a.m. and 1 p.m..
The museum
invites visitors to enter the popular monthly drawing contest for children 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 winner was Natalie
Rasmussen, age 12, of Kaimuki—and her abstract drawing is on the cover of the
program for this month’s event.

schedule.
