About the Open Call

Inspired by Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji, this exhibition explores Mauna Loa as a symbol of destruction, renewal, tradition, and change. The gallery seeks works that reflect the volcano's influence on the landscape and community through various mediums including painting, sculpture, video, photography, and installation. The exhibition will feature 18 invited artists and 18 artists selected through this open call.
