Honolulu Weekly

Longtime readers may notice that 2009’s Fall Arts edition of Honolulu Weekly is smaller than in years past–there’s a reason for that. Artists and arts-related organizations have taken a huge hit during this downturn. As their patrons cut back, they must cut back–and that means not just shorter hours and smaller staffs, but literally less art in our community. This year we’ve trained our eye on emerging artists. With any luck–and with all of our support–the voices and visions represented here will be speaking to Honolulu for years to come.
