First Friday Reception: Friday, January 2 from 6 - 8 p.m.

Downtown Art Center hosts the finale event of the Honouliuli 10th Anniversary Celebrations, marking a decade of collaborative efforts to preserve and share the powerful history of Honouliuli National Historic Site.

Designated first as a National Monument in 2015 and later redesignated as a National Historic Site in 2019, Honouliuli stands as a vital reminder of Hawaiʻi’s World War II experiences of martial law, incarceration, and prisoners of war. This exhibition, sponsored by Pacific Historic Parks, highlights local artists’ interpretations of the site and follows a yearlong speaker series and community programs that explored Honouliuli’s hidden histories.

Portions of this exhibition will be on view at Hawaii’s Plantation Villages until February 20, 2026, and work from the exhibition will be digitally archived at nps.gov/hono.
