Call to Support Local Artists and Musicians

MOLOKAI ARTS CENTER NEWS RELEASE

On Saturday, Dec. 3, Molokai Arts Center (MAC) will sponsor a Gift Fair and Brunch. We are asking Molokai artists to set up sales tables and booths to sell locally made art and crafts at the Saturday market in Kaunakakai. In addition, we are asking our community to support our island economy by purchasing your holiday gifts directly from local artists and musicians. MAC will serve brunch for 200 holiday shoppers from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. We will also sponsor a gift wrap table so that shoppers can have their gifts wrapped and packed for immediate shipping.

Brunch tickets (suggested donation $10) are available from MAC volunteers. Brunch includes Coffees of Hawaii coffee or tea, Molokai fried rice, fresh fruit salad by Kumu Farms and delicious spiced potatoes by chef Roshani Nash. Lono and friends will entertain shoppers with a free musical concert. Revenue generated by sales of brunch tickets will be invested in arts education programs at the new MAC at Coffees of Hawaii in Kualapu`u. Local artists and musicians will keep the revenue generated by their own sales.

Volunteers are needed to help bake and sell cookies, cakes and goodies at this event. For more information, please contact MAC Treasurer Kim Markham by calling 808-349-6270 or emailing kim.markham@gmail.com.
