The 2018 Kilauea eruption changed not only the Big Island itself but also the people and communities of lower Puna.
Now, one year later, it’s still hard to believe, especially for those who were directly affected.
Wailoa Center and Hawaii Island Art Alliance are sponsoring “Transformations: One Year Later,” on exhibit through the end of this month, featuring pieces by those who have a story to tell about their experiences through art, writing and song.
If you haven’t seen it yet, there’s still time.
Wailoa Center is free and open to the public from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For more information, call 933-0416, email wailoa@yahoo.com or visit wailoacenter.com.
