IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
The San Francisco Tribal & Textile Arts Show is Feb. 8-10 at the Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason Center. This exhibition of artwork & artifacts of the world's indigenous cultures features pre-1940 tribal art & artifacts from more than 90 galleries & dealers from around the world.

A REMINDER
One of the best hula performance I have seen is KAHEKILI, a production largely choreographed by Hokulani Holt of Maui, and made possible by an NEA grant. See http://mauinews.com/magazine/2007/10/11/03Back1011.html There are a number of additional shows scheduled, including quite a few mainland performances. The schedule of both Hawai'i and mainland performances is online at http://www.mauiarts.org/Kahekili.html
