[ART/CULTURE] Standing at the edge of the water off the islands of Hawai'i, there is a sense of awe and respect for the vast sea that surrounds us. It's even more humbling to know that a long time ago some very brave people looked from the opposite side of the ocean and decided to paddle out to see what could be found. Canoeing is part of all the Pacific cultures: the Northwest Coast, Hawai'i, Polynesia, Micronesia, New Zealand and Japan. The skill of carving and shaping canoes is ancient. Today people young and old are participating to keep the tradition alive. The MACC has made available a creative picture of this important part of Hawaiian culture, and has joined with the Lahainatown Action Committee in celebrating the tradition of the canoe. Canoes, tools used in the making, and drums from the 2004 Canoe Festival will be displayed, as well as photos from last year's events. The intimate black-and-white works of Maui photographer Masako Cordray (see LEFT) are featured. The exhibit is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is also open during Castle Theater shows and intermissions. The admission is free and there's really no reason not to stop by and take a glance. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]
