This three-week event features a group exhibition showcasing the art work of Charlene Asato, Lisa Louise Adams, Roslyn Moresh, Leslie Laird and Robin Scanlon. This group of artists originally began meeting and making books together.

The multimedia exhibition held in Dietrich Varez Hall at Hale Ho‘omana at the Niaulani Campus features original watercolor paintings, collage, handmade books and quilts.
In addition to the exhibition, the participating artists are instructing an “Exploration in Book Making” workshop on from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12
