We are stoked to partner with our friends from Patagonia Honolulu to present our 2nd ANNUAL ART SHOW FUNDRAISER. This very special two week long ART EXHIBITION AND AUCTION has all Hawaiʻi based artists. Our artists are all either conservationist, botanists, climbers, hikers, nature lovers, and people who just love to mālama da ʻāina. Basically a whole bunch of artists who are using their talents to push messages and education about Hawaiʻi. We couldn't be more proud to showcase 30+ artists work for this fundraiser with the purpose of uplifting our communities and environment.
All proceeds will go towards Kanaka Climber’s efforts to provide increased access to climbing opportunities to local youth, fund cleanups at cultural sites, scholarship programs and continue educational programming to better inform the outdoor community about ethical and culturally responsive recreation.

Elation
"The Koolau mountain range on Oahu features some of the most epic views on the planet, it they look stunning in all sorts of light, at any time of year.
However, between the changing seasons here in the islands, when the sun shifts from far east to south and back again, there in lies a short period of time where the light angle hits just right to get a perfect balance between ridge and shadow.
It took me about three or four attempts to get this shot, waking up early, and sprinting into the gardens right when the gate opens just hoping to catch the morning glow at the pond. Eventually the hard work paid off resulting in a feeling one can only describe as pure elation."

The Moanalua Middle Ridge has always been close to my heart. This beautiful ridge in the past few years has been severely eroded by overwhelming hiker traffic due to the popularity of Haiku stairs on social media. This ridge is perceived to be a “legal” way for some reason. A lot of our native flora and fauna are found here but are getting destroyed by uninformed people who come here from all over the world. We need to bring the attention on this ridge as it badly needed help. Unfortunately, our attempts have been unsuccessful at this time. So I try to document the beautiful flora that thrive here and put out the awareness of the beautiful gift that we have here in our aina that is found nowhere else in the world. Through my work, my camera, and my eyes, I hope I could share this and spread the awareness to the world.
Mamma & Calf
Artist: Siena Baldi, @sienabaldi
STARTING BID: $50
ESTIMATED VALUE: $400
12x12 acryla-gouache on wood panel
These majestic creatures feed in Alaska and then migrate down to warm Hawaiian waters to breed and give birth. There is no food for them to eat in Hawaii so the whales fast for months. Siena recently learned that while whales are mammals, the baby whale does not suckle on the mom’s teat because that would be too compromising of a position. Instead, the mom squirts a globule of milk that’s 40% fat into the water and the baby slurps it up.
Wai Kūpuna
Artist: @be_kautious
STARTING BID: $20 ESTIMATED VALUE:$60 Size 10"X10", framed graphic art
"I have always loved the ocean, and i am slowly learning how to build a much more deeper pilina in these spaces of wai that I hold so deep and close to my heart.
It has been a blessing to be able to use my artistic talent to not only create beautiful meaningful art, but art that also brings awareness to others who may not know about important issues like #ShutDownRedHill.
The biggest take away I want to leave when making this art piece is to emphasize the importance of water. We all need clean water, but more importantly we must do everything and anything to secure clean water for all our keikis."
