Art in the Garden • Evening Tours at Foster Botanical Garden
Celebrating contemporary art and the closing of Hawai‘i Triennial 2022!
Join us at dusk, under the rising flower moon, for an after-hours walking tour of the Foster Botanical Garden and Hawai‘i Triennial 2022. Learn about the history of the garden and the contemporary artworks on view from Hawai‘i Triennial 2022, including installations by world-renowned artist Ai Weiwei, Manila-based artist Leeroy New, and fashion art collective TOQA. Each docent-led tour is approximately one hour and includes the opportunity to experience Midnight Smoothie, a film and fashion pop-up by TOQA. It’s your last chance to view these amazing art installations!
