For the fourth year, the state Legislature will open its doors to make accessible more than 450 works of local art in the offices of legislators and executive offices. “Art at the Capitol” will run from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday during the district’s monthly First Friday event.
Visitors will be able to walk through 52 House and Senate offices, plus, for the first time, the offices of the governor and lieutenant governor. Artists will be on hand as well, including Laura Ruby, Ron Kent, Lori Uyehara, Ruthadell Anderson and Darrell Orwig.
Among the events are two short films documenting the history behind the Capitol rotunda’s “Aquarius” mosaic and two wall tapestries in the Senate and House chambers. Keiko Sato, sister of “Aquarius” artist Tadashi Sato, and tapestry artist Anderson will discuss the pieces.
The artwork on display is part of the state’s Art in Public Places Collection, overseen by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Visit www.facebook.com/artatthecapitolhawaii.
