It’s just about your last chance to catch contemporary art exhibit CONTACT(ed) at The ARTS at Marks Garage, as it closes Aug. 28.

The ARTS at Marks exhibit is a reinterpretation of the original CONTACT, which took place at Honolulu Museum of Art School in April. The pieces explore the concept of “contact” as it relates to Hawaii from the 1890s to the 1930s and Native Hawaiians’ early experiences with Westerners.

CONTACT artists include ‘Imaikalani Kalahele, Marika Emi, Kalani Largusa, Solomon Enos, Drew Broderick, Hanale Hopfe, Jerry Vasconcellos, Charlton Kupa’a Hee, Nanea Lum, Kahi Ching, Kau‘i Chun, Harinani Orme, Debbie Young, KC Grennan, Duane Preble, Momi Greene, Jan Becket, Charlie Dickson and Les FIlter Feeders. It was cu-rated by Noelle M.K.Y. Kahanu and Ngahiraka Mason.

CONTACT(ed) will be on display during The ARTS at Marks Garage from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday through Aug. 28.
