MEDIA RELEASE

The waters flowing through Waimea from Kohala Mountain to the ocean are the topic of presentations at 7 p.m. Monday, June 1 at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea.

The presentations are part of “Kahe Mau Ka Wai A Waimea: Forever Shall the Waters of Waimea Flow,” a multi-media art exhibit that reflects on the enduring waters of Waimea and cultural landscape through art and sharing. 

The exhibit runs through June 12.
