Center closing for renovations
The Wailoa Art and Cultural Center has been closed for renovations as the center continues installing new electrical wiring, painting the building inside and out, fixing the interior fountain and refinishing the floors in the office, Fountain Gallery and outside lanai.
Due to delays in electrical work, the ever-popular Wood Turners Exhibit for the month of March, including the opening reception scheduled for today, has been postponed.
“After exploring alternative ways to open the display, safety concerns and not being able to provide the viewer with a satisfactory experience contributed to the decision to cancel the exhibit,” according to a statement from the Wailoa Center.
The Wailoa Art and Cultural Center is a Division of State Parks, Department of Land and Natural Resources. For more information, call 933-0416 or email wailoa@yahoo.com.
