We touch, taste, smell, hear, and see the world around us, assembling our notions of what is though our five senses. Sharing those impressions, we develop a social consensus of reality and orient around the surety of that consensus.

A valued function of the artist is to offer alternative interpretations of what is by modelling what-might-be. Those models present innovative ways of perceiving, thinking, and responding to our changing environments.

Idiosyncratic: an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks.

Field: a particular branch of study or sphere of activity.

Young at Art is a decades long tradition spearheaded by EHCC volunteer, Judy Hara. The exhibition offers a venue for public, private, charter, and home school school children of the Big Island, encouraging creativity and the pursuit of art media. In this decade of diminishing investment in educational arts programs, Young at Art underscores our belief that creative thinking is a critical resource for all of our kids.
