HPC Calendar: last call for photos

April 20, 2008 – 9:40 pm

Via George Jensen:

Hi everyone

The calendar committee viewed all the submissions for the calendar last night. All were shown without listing who took the photos. The top 24 were selected. We were instructed by our president to allow only one photo per member to be in the final selections for the calendar. Unfortunately, the 24 finalists that were selected were from only 5 or 6 members. Thus we are putting out a second call for entries. There are a lot of members who did not submit yet. We need to hear from them! The new deadline for submissions will be the next regular meeting, May 21. This deadline is firm. The calendar committee will meet on the 24th again to decide the final selections.

George

Via Robbyn Peck:

Wailoa Center is welcoming all the Artists of the Big Island!

There has been an abrupt and inexplicable cancellation of “It’s a Honu Celebration” Exhibit for May. Having an empty gallery is just not an option I would ever consider soooooooo…………..

All artists and all media are welcome to enter Wailoa Center’s impromptu E Komo Mai, May 2 – 28, 2008

Entry date is Saturday, April 26 between 10:00 a.m.and 3:00 p.m. Cost is $5.00 per artist who may submit up to five original entries. I will be jurying the entries with the promise to guarantee each artist to
have at least one entry accepted. All entries must be framed and ready to hang or ready to install. Gallery wrapped canvases will be accepted (no staples showing). No giclee prints please (photographs excepted). Please enter only recent, original art done in last two to three years and ones that have not shown at Wailoa Center before.

Each artist must bring a pot luck dish to the opening on May 2, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and if there are any musicians who want to showcase their talents and play at the reception, give me a call. I will not have a budget for food or entertainment.

For additional information or questions please call 933-0416. Let’s seize the opportunity to make this a terrific, fun event for the whole community! Please feel free to pass this information on to artsy friends, family, or any one who wants this chance to show their stuff.

Mahalo nui loa,

Codie M. King
 Director, Wailoa Center

Report on Digital Assets Preservation

January 7, 2008 – 11:13 pm

Report on “The Persistence of Memory”
by Helen Wong Smith & Michael Thomas
Friday, January 25, 2008
Lyman Museum & Mission House – Classroom
6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Free & open to the public

The Persistence of Memory conferences were presented by the Northeast Document Conservation Center. Taught by a faculty of national experts, the conferences address the question of digital longevity. Institutions are rapidly acquiring collections of digitized and born-digital resources. Without intervention, these materials will not survive even a single human career. The two-day conferences highlighted evolving best practices for digital preservation to help with the life-cycle management of an institution’s collections. Helen Wong Smith, MLIS & CA, is the President of the Association of Hawaii Archivists and an Archival/Historical Consultant based in Hilo. Michael B. Thomas, PhD, is Acting Collections Manager of the UHM Herbarium. Both have an interest in creating digital, relational databases to support the objects in collections.

For more information, contact Linda at 935.5021 or lindac@lymanmuseum.org.

Presented in collaboration with Bishop Museum, UHM Museum Studies Graduate Certificate Program and Lyman Museum & Mission House

Hapuna cabins New Year’s eve camp out

December 2, 2007 – 10:56 pm

December 31, Hapuna Beach Cabins. Reason: To be at the only place in the island with public fireworks displays on NY’s eve. GREAT sunset shots on Hapuna Beach if there are no low-lying clouds.

Chameleon Blending In, (C) Bill Basie
A-frame cabins have common bathrooms with hot water showers; 1 large mess room with full kitchen (fridge, stove, oven & some pots/pans). Pot-luck dinner and breakfast.

As with any camp out, bring games, snacks or anything for the long wait to midnight when fireworks are set off at 3 different places: Mauna Kea, King’s Shops and Hapuna Resort. Bring air mattress or sleeping bag (cabins have a bench) and flash light. Bring tripod, remote shutter release, camera manual (for those who don’t know how to put their camera in bulb setting) extra battery & different color glow sticks for those who went to Ben Willmore’s seminar and want to play with Willmore’s version of light painting.

Call/email Joy (at hilojoy “AT” hotmail.com) if interested, there is a $20 fee for the cabin (I think there is one remaining) or prorata share of $20 fee for space in cabins already reserved by other members.
