"Aloha,
Mr. James Brown!
I am a visual artist/art educator in Hawaii and my
purpose as an artist is to awaken, inform, and
transform our people and plant. Rarely is
there a venue to show this type of work...as an
artist I feel responsible to recreate this world
into a better place especially now in these times
of war.
Thank
you for providing a show that honors the true
mystics of our time, the artists, and if you ever
expand your show to include artists worldwide
please contact me". J.
Hablewitz - Paia, Hawaii
