As the 19th installment of Wailuku Town's creative placemaking program, SMALL TOWN * BIG ART (ST*BA), each artist has been working with the STBA team and meeting with community consultants to further root their pieces in the history, culture and sense of place of Wailuku. A contemporary dance performance by Adaptations Dance Theater will take place at the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary Building Hoapili Hale courtyard at 2145 Main Street immediately following a blessing of Taum's mural piece at 2121 Main Street, which is the office building of Stephanie Ohigashi.
