POW! WOW! Hawaii 2017 Will See a Slew of Masterpieces From Artists Across the Globe

After storming through the city of Long Beach, California, POW! WOW! artists from across the globe are getting ready to envelop Hawaii’s commercial district of Kakaako with their striking artwork. Since 2011, founder and Hong Kong artist Jasper Wong has been wrangling a bevy of acclaimed international artists to network with local artists in order to foster creativity, collaboration and, of course, exposure in these events. Not to mention, 2017 marks the seventh year for the renowned function to take place in The Aloha State.

Visiting artists include Kevin Lyons, James Jean, Cinta Vidal, OG SLICK, Dan Witz, Careaux and more. Local creators span Beak, Ckaweeks, Dak1ne, Devour, Gavin Murai and Hoven, to name a few. As a whole, the event will feature live art installations, exhibitions, concerts and panel discussions. As far as music appearances go, Steve Aoki, ILoveMakonnen, Autoerotique, Max Styler, and other special guests are set to take the stage.
