Almaden Avenue Murals and a Pocket Dog Park

Almaden Avenue Murals and a Pocket Dog Park

Yesterday I discovered some new-to-me murals and a pocket dog park within one block of West Santa Clara Street between Almaden Avenue and San Pedro Street. I went into the dog park to take a picture of the mural and while there I made friends with Lucy the dog.

Well it has been several days since Pow! Wow! Hawaii has been over, and I must say that it was truly an amazing experience. I want to start by thanking @mrjasperwong , @kameahadar , and @pro_gress for putting on such fantastic event. Congratulations on hitting 10 years! There are so many people to thank as well. Craig you are the man and even still I saw you yesterday and you were still going! @daybydaykristin and all the other volunteers thanks for always making sure the artists were taken care of. 🤙🏽✨My new buddy Ryan who worked effortlessly to make sure I wasn’t electrocuted⚡️⚡️ ( long story ). My main man @alohabohs 👑 you came through for me on so many levels and I am truly grateful for you my brother! Of course my wife Kaori for pushing and believing in me And bringing down food with Cindy to feed us animals! 😂 Thank you to everyone who stopped by even if I missed you I know our paths will cross again. And all those who came to bring me water, coffee, food, etc. The list goes on and on. I am truly blessed to be able to do what I love and to share that with you and my fellow artists is a great feeling. For now on to the next wave! . . About the mural. . Get Waves, a hand-painted series by MelonJames, creates the idea that we all are individual waves that are part of the larger ocean. We all have much in common as human beings, yet we are unique in our identities, our fingerprints, and our ideas. MelonJames uses the unique patterns and blends of colors to symbolize the individuality of human beings. Each wave separates itself from the next—giving it its own identity, yet in a macro scale, these waves are all similar. This collection of waves, as a whole, symbolizes the greater ocean where all waves belong. MelonJames recognizes that our uniqueness is what makes us beautiful in our own way, but simultaneously reminds us that we are equally small in the greater world. . The colors on this mural come from color moods. From good health, good wealth, calmness and wisdom, to joy and great energy. With patterns by @alohabohs. Which Make for great conversation if you go see him at @soulsignaturetattoohawaii . 😉✨ . Thanks a ton!! Melón!! . (at POW WOW Worldwide) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8y7WsJp4zC/?igshid=cmfygrz96n32

Reposting this from the Pow! Wow! website:

POW! WOW! HAWAII IS A GATHERING OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS THAT ENGAGES WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS AND CREATION OF ART.

Supported by the Hawaii Tourism Authority, POW! WOW! has grown into a global network of artists and organizes gallery shows, lecture series, schools for art and music, mural projects, a large creative space named Lana Lane Studios, concerts, and live art installations across the globe. The Hawaii event takes place during Valentine’s Day week in February in the Kaka’ako district of Honolulu, and brings over a hundred international and local artists together to create murals and other forms of art.

After touring the globe and beautifying the streets of ten different cities, contemporary art initiative POW! WOW! takes to its hometown in Oahu, Hawaii for its 2018 festivities. Taking place between February 10th and the 18th, artists and musicians will gather at the Kaka’ako neighborhood and create all new murals and installations. The festival is fleshed out with a block party alongside the Honolulu Night Market, an exhibition curated by Thinkspace at the Honolulu Museum of Art, a print show with Detroit-based 1xRun, artist talks, screenings, foot golf tournaments with Kicks to the Pitch and Paradise Soccer Club, break dancing battles with UDEF, as well as concert with BAMP.

In 2017, the festival was held in the following cities: Honolulu, Hawaii; Washington D.C.; Israel; Long Beach, California; Worcester, Massachusetts; Guam; Seoul, South Korea; San Jose, California; Kobe, Japan; and Taipei, Taiwan.
