Art in Kailua: Introducing the Lodestar Collective

Amid the frenzy of end-of-semester grading I forgot to mention an expedition to a new gallery featuring one of my favorite artists. Ceramicist Daven Hee (shown above) is one of the forces behind the new Lodestar Collective at 438-A Uluniu St. in Kailua (96734). The gallery is open from 10.oo to 6.oo Tues-Sat. Call them at 808/ 741.2874 or 282.3789.

Kailua seems to becoming more of a funky place with the Balcony Gallery next door, and its own Second Sunday Gallery Walk. Kailua also has one of Oahu's only independent bookstores and cafes (both in the same strip mall). One of these days I will even have to check out the famous beach -- just five miles away.
