Not particularly well laid out with a table right as you walk in. Seemed clunky. Also - I was bugged that the work was not necessarily level...either the pieces were cockeyed or the labels were...sometimes both. And it was also weird that the labels didn't seem to be uniform...with one (maybe 2?) artist(s) having a QR code. Perplexing. The show itself was good...if kinda redundant.

This is the same building that has the satellite city hall office. Parking is either on the street or in nearby lots. There is a municipal parking lot in the same building which entrance is on Bethel Street. Parking is cheap. Both times I went, it was on a Sunday. I found the DAC to be so interesting with the artwork displays from mostly local artists. There is a different exhibit each month and the best part, it's free to visit. They also hold art classes there. The layout of the center is a decent size, white walls, and spacious walking thru. They also have their own restrooms which were very clean. In January, the monthly exhibit was about the WWII internment camp in Waipahu as part of the Honouliuli National Historic Site's 10th anniversary celebration. It was informative & I learned somethings that I never knew before. In March the Hawaii Watercolor Society had a member's showing, which was also an interesting exhibit seeing the beautiful water color paintings. Overall, nice experience to check out.

They helped hang the flags in the picture, moved around tables when needed, provided mics for us, made sure our music matched the vibe. They made set up and tear down soooo much easier for us and made the event so much more enjoyable. It's the perfect place to host an event. I have friends with kids who attended the event and they even had toys and play things for kids so everyone had the best time!! I dream of another event to host there, thank you Boxjelly for making my wedding week even more special.

Seemed confident they could finish in one day. Matthew was very accommodating in meeting with the neighbors to assure them there would be minimal impact/disruption to their properties. There was a mixup in the lift provided and they needed a bigger lift. Matthew assured me it would be fixed at no additional costs to us. Thank you Matthew. Justus, Loa, Kaipo and Karl, were on site early to start on the project. Once the machinery issues with the lift were solved, they had the project done in a couple of hours. Took me up close to inspect the work and fixed another spot that was bothering me. So good to have this done. Want our building to last another 20 years and I feel this repair will insure this doesn't happen again. The crew had a lot of pride in their work. I totally recommend these guys to do a great job to your satisfaction.

I enjoyed exploring the art exhibits and seeing the creativity of local artists. There were also vendors selling local products, jewelry, hats, clothing, and other unique items. If you'd like, you can also grab a drink or food while enjoying the event. The museum hosts special First Friday events every month, creating a fun and vibrant atmosphere where people can gather, socialize, and appreciate art and culture. For convenient parking, I recommend the Aliʻi Place parking garage, where parking is very affordable. It's a great way to spend an evening in downtown Honolulu, whether you're a local or a visitor.

We found Eric Blanco in the Yelp page and read all his reviews and found the right person for the job. We engaged Eric to design 2 matching wardrobe cabinets to blend in with our existing built in shelving. Eric installed the 2 wardrobe cabinets using solid oak that he stained to the exact color of my existing shelving, the wardrobe closets was beautifully built with lights upon opening and drawers and shelf . We are very happy with his work, he's meticulous, detailed and is always happy , his crews are also very friendly and conscious . We know he is standing by his work and will come back to fix or make any changes that we ask him to do. We highly recommend Eric for anything pertaining to woodworking , he's the best in Honolulu! We can't compare his custom made work with others quotes from closets company since the other closets company are made of prefab unit and mostly are pressed wood, when Eric's cabinets prices are a little higher but the quality is so much better! Thank you Eric for a job well done!
