Public Art Installation Opening with Artists, Music, and Food
Join us on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. for a community gathering -- with mele, mo'olelo, and free food -- to celebrate a new Wahi Pana mural at Kahe Point, created by artists Meleanna Aluli Meyer and Solomon Enos.
Located at Kahe Point (Electric Beach), a site popular with divers and snorkelers, and passed by thousands of commuters each day, this project reconnects the place to the significance of the five ʻili (subdivisions) associated with the area.
Painted on the beach park pavilion in collaboration with more than thirty community members, this mural is grounded in shared stewardship and kuleana-based pedagogy. Using the form of an ʻupena (net), the design symbolizes the gathering of people and resources.
The new installation is part of Wahi Pana: Storied Places, the unprecedented initiative featuring art installations across O‘ahu that connect each site with its indigenous, Native Hawaiian mo‘olelo (stories). The project is led by the Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts (MOCA) in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, Aupuni Space, Pu‘uhonua Society, Hawai‘i Contemporary, O‘ahu Visitors Bureau, Bishop Museum, and Hawai‘i Tourism Authority.
