ʻO kekahi o nā kiʻi kiʻi ma waena o ka 10 kiʻekiʻe o ka lehulehu - ʻo Matthew Hoffman's "Be Kind" - pono e pani ʻia e kahi mea ʻē aʻe ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻole ʻana.

ʻO nā kiʻi kiʻi 10 i koho ʻia no ka hōʻike ʻana ʻo "Tulip the Rockfish" na Peter Hazel, "Pearl Infinity" na Plamen Yordanov, "Efram" na James Burnes, "The Memory of Sailing" na Zan Knecht, "Kissing Bench" na Matt Cartwright, " The Goddess Sol" na Jackie Braitman, "Newport Glider" na Ilya Idelchick, "Confluence #102" na Catherine Daley, "Got Juice" na Stephen Landis a me "Inchoate" na Luke Achterberg.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna komisina ʻoihana ʻo Arlene Greer, ʻo ka hui hou loa o nā kiʻi kiʻi e hui pū me ka "hale hōʻikeʻike ʻole o ka pā."

"Me ka nānā ʻana mai 'Efram' ka bison, [hoʻomanaʻo mai ia] iā mākou i ko mākou mōʻaukala ma ke ʻano he hānai holoholona me nā mile ākea. Ke neʻe nei ʻoe ma ka hōʻikeʻike kīhāpai, e ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻalani nani 'Tulip the Rockfish,' ka chimp 'Newport Glider' a me ka 'Kissing Bench,' e hoʻomanaʻo mai ana iā mākou he kūlanakauhale me ka ʻaoʻao leʻaleʻa a me ka hoʻokalakupua, "wahi a Greer.

"Ma kahi moʻolelo koʻikoʻi, e hālāwai ʻoe me 'The Goddess Sol,' nāna e hoʻomalu i ka pūnaewele 14 mau ʻeka, a me 'Pearl Infinity,' e hoʻomanaʻo mai ana iā mākou i ke ʻano o ka ʻoihana akamai i ʻāpana o ko mākou kaiāulu," ʻo ia. hoʻohui ʻia.

Ua ʻike ʻo Greer i kahi mākaʻikaʻi o nā mea hou e mālama ʻia ma ka Civic Center ma Iune 24, i hui pū me ka 56th makahiki Newport Beach Art Exhibition.

Hāʻawi ʻia ka poʻe kiʻi kiʻi i kahi hoʻohanohano liʻiliʻi no ka hōʻaiʻē ʻana i kā lākou mau hana no ka hōʻike ʻelua makahiki. Ke hoʻokomo nei nā limahana o ke kūlanakauhale i ke kiʻi, akā ua noi ʻia nā mea pena e mālama i kā lākou mau hana ponoʻī a mālama i nā hana e pono ai.

Ma kahi o $119,000 i komo i loko o kēia māhele o kēia manawa, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o ka papahana, nā uku hoʻokele, nā uku hoʻonohonoho a me nā uku wehe.

"Mahalo nui wau i kēia papahana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Councilwoman Robyn Grant i ka hālāwai o ka Poalua. “ʻO wau ka noho o ke Kōmike Hoʻonaʻauao i ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai kēia papahana ma muli o ke noi a ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā o ia manawa i ko lākou manaʻo ʻana i ka mea e hiki mai ana ma City Hall ma ʻaneʻi a loaʻa ka paka, a haʻaheo wau i ka lilo ʻana i ʻāpana. o kahi kaiaulu e kākoʻo ana i kēia ʻano noʻeau; ua ulu maikaʻi a maikaʻi hoʻi i nā makahiki.

Ua mahalo ʻo ia i nā komisina noʻeau a me ka Newport Arts Foundation no ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā lākou hana.

ʻO ka unuhi ʻana o kahi wahi i manaʻo ʻia no "The Goddess Sol" na ka mea kālai kiʻi ʻo Jackie Braitman ma Civic Center Park.
