35
artists will open their studios to the public.
Artist's studios scattered
throughout Hawaiian
Paradise Park, will open their doors and sharing their studio
space with guest artists, to display and sell their wonderful

unique types of art featured are locally made and braided bracelets,
lava pots, native plant dyed fabrics, recycled art, woods and

We support and encourage art and fellowship among artists in our community through exhibits such as the December studio tour where local artists open their studios to display their work in the setting where it is created," says board member and clay artist Patti Datlof. "Our mission is also to encourage art education through donations to local schools for art supplies and by providing opportunities for mentoring, lectures and workshops." The 2008 tour donation was over $1000.00 to the Hawaii Academy of Arts and Sciences in Pahoa, and the first year was $600 to the Keaau High School art department.
