Saturday, June 17:
MAMo at the MACC – Wearable Art Show.  A component of the Maoli Arts Movement, the wearable art show celebrates Hawaiian design in fabric and clothing, specifically in terms of cultural motif, in a way that makes it more than just a runway fashion show. Many traditional Hawaiian patterns and designs, in kapa and weaving, weaponry and tools, tattoo and adornment, take their visual clues from nature.  This fashion event is definitely not a typical fashion show.  VIP ticketholders get exclusive access to the trunk show before the performance; all other ticketholders are invited to visit the trunk show at the conclusion of the program.   Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Yokouchi Pavilion & Courtyard, One Cameron Way, Kahului.  7:30 p.m.  For tickets and information call (808) 242-7469 or visit http://mauiarts.org/.
