MAC Art Show Winners

Wednesday, November 17th, 2021

MAC News Release 

Kudos to all the Molokai artists who entered the 10th annual Molokai Arts Center (MAC) Member Show. Due to gathering restrictions, awards were announced via Zoom. The Member Show is online and can be found on the MAC website molokaiartscenter.org/2021-member-show/.

While all the art work was exceptional, not all submissions were juried in. Our juror, artist Kat Kazlauskas, graciously shared thoughts about each piece juried in on the MAC blog molokaiartscenter.org/2021/10/03/some-notes-from-our-juror-kat-kazlauskas/. Read her notes alongside the photos. Some of the works are offered for sale where a price is listed. Otherwise, you will see NFS=Not for Sale.

Congratulations to this year’s prize winners. Best in 2-D ($100) “ʻIʻiwi Bird” was won by Nan Walters.…
