Thursday, May 12, 7-9pm
Our endemic Hawaiian crow, the ‘alalā, once made its home across the length and breadth of Hawai‘i Island. In the Fall, ‘alalā will be restored to their natural habitat and these very intelligent birds will take their place once again among the fauna of Hawaiian forests.

Volcano Art Center welcomes Lea Ka‘aha‘aina of the ‘Alalā Project (Hawai‘i DLNR), who will relate the amazing account of the ‘alalā’s recovery and plans for its upcoming release.

Also in store for the evening’s presentation is the announcement of Volcano Art Center and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research statewide Call to Artists: All ‘alalā!  Open to Hawai‘i artists, 18 years and older, working in all media who choose to represent the ‘Alalā (Corvus hawaiiensis) in their art work. VAC’s Gallery Manager, Emily C. Weiss, will share details about the Call to Artists: All ‘Alalā!

This evening is part of Thursday Nights at the Center, an evening series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture and our environment. The series is intended to inspire, enhance our art and life experience and foster community connections. The event is FREE, but a $5 donation is greatly appreciated.
