2023 Hawaii’s Woodshow, Na Lā’au o Hawai’i
Hawaii Opera Plaza
848 S. Beretania Street, Honolulu
Sunday, October 29, 2023 through Wednesday, November 8, 2023
Free Admission Open daily 9 am – 5 pm
The 2023 Hawaii’s Woodshow™, Na La‘au o Hawai‘i will be the Hawai‘i Forest Industry Association’s (HFIA) 31st Anniversary woodworking exhibition. Attendees will be treated to extraordinary heirloom-quality works made from interesting and beautiful Hawai‘i-grown woods. Hawaii’s Woodshow encourages an appreciation for the participating artists and the materials they use. The Woodshow promotes the positive role forests play in our economy and ecology. The 2022 Woodshow ran October 16th through October 30th at the beautiful Hawaii Opera Plaza.
The Show calls for the use of wood from Hawaiian-grown tree species, especially those that have been planted and brought to maturity here in Hawai‘i. It serves as a reference point for the planting of native and non-native high value hardwoods for future generations. This year’s theme is Ho’ike Kālai Kūpono.
Three jurors will select awards based on a balanced knowledge of contemporary woodworking and Hawai‘i forestry. Awards are based on ‘Inspiration of Design” and “Excellence of Implementation”.
HFIA is excited to welcome back former Woodshow Coordinator Marian Yasuda.
