KAMEHAMEHA I: RESTORING A LEGACY:
The Alliance has just been selected FIRST PLACE winner of an Achievement Award for our public awareness and conservation of the original sculpture of King Kamehameha I in North Kohala on the Big Island.
This award is from Save Outdoor Scupture! and was selected by an independent group of conservators, art historians, public art professionals and preservationists. All winners are featured in the spring issue of SOS ! and on the web site at http:///www.heritagepreservation.org
The 2001 SOS! Achievement Awards recognize projects that best demonstrate excellence and innovation in preservation and public awareness. There are 7 SOS! Achievement Award recipients who worked diligently and successfully to preserve local sculpture and foster awareness about the need for ongoing care.
We are proud to have been able to do this for our community in Hawai’i.
Look for the premiere of the documentary film: Kamehameha I: A Legacy Restored in June 2002 in North Kohala and on Oahu!
