Metcalf Château wasn’t just a house—it was the birthplace of a movement that shook up Hawaiʻi’s art scene. A group of Asian-American artists gathered there in the 1950s, blending their roots and island experiences into bold, modern works that still inspire today. The new exhibit at UH Mānoa’s RISE Center doesn’t just show their art; it celebrates the friendships, risk-taking, and sense of place that made their creativity possible. It’s a powerful reminder of how community spaces can spark innovation and shape culture. Who else thinks our local art history deserves more love? #Entertainment #Painting #HawaiiArt
