Culture To Canvas was created as a signature program offering for Studio HA`A which was founded by native Hawaiian artist and kumu hula, Kehaulani Kekua in 2018. In the fall of 2022, we permanently closed the studio in Kapa`a and relocated to the Anahola Marketplace where we set up a quaint atelier. www.studioHAA.com continues to serve as the website and virtual hub space. However, we are simply branded altogether as, Culture To Canvas.

We are grateful for our collaboration with Anaina Hou Community Park in Kilauea and the lovely outdoor venue that is provided to us for our programs. Join us every Thursday evening on the upper campus adjacent to the Mini Golf and Botanical Gardens. Included with your ticket is a beverage of your choice from the bar, and a mini charcuterie platter. Reservations must be made directly to their website at www.anainahou.org.

Join us this Saturday, March 25th, for two sessions of Culture To Canvas Paint Pā`ina classes! Advance reservations required. Check-in 30 minutes prior to the start of the classes at 11:30am and 2pm.

Mahalo so much for your visit! We look forward to painting and creating with you soon!

March Calendar of Events

Coming up!

"KE ALOHA! A MACAW & HIS MARGARITA"

Thursday, March 23 - Anaina Hou

Check-in at 5:30p 6p to 8p

I once met a friend’s Macaw who was trained to say all kinds of things! He was quite a cheeky fellow whose favorite sayings included, “Pour me another one!”, “It’s Pau Hana Time”, “Bartender, bring me a drink!” and more. We’ll paint, sip and learn different ways in which to toast and cheer in Hawaiian. It’ll be a blast!

"PINAO & PĪKAKE"

Thursday, March 30 - Anaina Hou

Check-in at 5:30p 6p to 8p

Pinao is the Hawaiian name for the Giant Dragonfly, one of two species that are endemic to Hawai’i. Also known as the Giant Hawaiian Darner, it is the largest of dragonflies that exist in the United States. Paired with blooming shrubs of pīkake or fragrant jasmine, they are symbols of ancient and modern traditions in hula. Pinao are fierce insect predators of the native Hawaiian forest and water ecosystems. Both are cherished symbols of blessings for health and wellbeing.

Sunday, April 2

Anahola Marketplace

Check-in at 3:30p 4p to 6:30p

Sunsets at the end of the road at Kē’ē, Hā’ena are simply beautiful. Unbeknownst to many, is it’s primordial role as one of Hawai’i’s most celebrated places associated with ancient Hawaiian culture, hula traditions, stories and more. This painting was inspired by a spontaneous, unplanned drive by my two sisters who were treated to an amazing sunset at the end of their journey. This C2C will be extra special!
