East-West Center

Arts & Performances

In honor of the East-West Center’s 50th anniversary, the Gallery will feature a selection of some 35 works rarely seen by the general public, including sculpture, prints, paintings, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, wood carvings, and photographs.

Since its founding in 1960, the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i, has been the recipient of hundreds of gifts of art, architecture, and artifacts reflecting the richness and diversity of the Asia Pacific region, including the United States. In keeping with the Center’s mandate to promote better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the region, the objects in the Permanent Collection serve as educational tools—as well as inspirational works of great beauty.

Included in this special exhibition are works by David Becker, Dalounny Carroll, Paul Chesley, Alonzo Davis, Rupert Garcia, Aisha Ghasnavi, Milton Glaser, R. C. Gorman, I Nyoman Gunarsa, Hokusai, Jose Joya, Erica Karawina, Da Tan Ke, I Nyoman Lesug, Meleanna Meyer, Mayumi Oda, Mary Pritchard, Sano Tankyu, Pak No Soo, Michael Tom, Hatano Tae, Mohammad Yasin, Noguchi Yukoku, and Cong Zhiyuan. Also included is a video projection art work, by Ben Wood and Michael Schuster, based on the flagship Charlot and Affandi murals in Imin Center-Jefferson Hall.
