Find art - at our public schools! For this school year, we are showcasing the amazing artwork by students and professionals alike that grace our schools, campuses and community. To kick off National Literacy Month in September, we are sharing “The Storyteller,” a formidable concrete giant with a friendly smile. According to artist Kay Mura, she “warmly welcomes children to listen to her stories about Kapālama; the school, its curriculum, the multi-ethnic make-up of its students, and what the area meant to ancient Hawaiians. Her larger-than-life size emphasizes the magical quality of the stories she tells.” Collection: SFCA?Art in Public Places Collection Artist: Kay Mura Date: 2002 Type: Sculpture Material: Concrete #HawaiiPublicSchoolsProud #CapitolModern #HawaiiStateArtMuseum #ArtInPublicPlacesHawaii #HawaiiArtist #SupportLocalArtists
