\u201cTo see through the fragments of time to the full power of the original being … that is a function of art.\u201d \u2014Mythologist Joseph Campbell
\n In Hawai`i, art has often been a powerful vehicle connecting the Hawaiian people to their past and inspiring us all through its truth-telling and beauty. This is seen in the work of the state\u2019s painters, wood carvers, sculptors, weavers, and more. And it is particularly apparent in the songs (mele<\/i>), chants (oli<\/i>), and hula dances that reach deep into the soul of the Hawaiian culture, both keeping its ancient traditions alive and telling its sacred stories. <\/p>\n

At Waikoloa Beach Resort, guests and locals alike enjoy hula performances several times a week on stages at both Queens\u2019 MarketPlace and Kings\u2019 Shops, as well as at weekly lu\u0304`au at Hilton Waikoloa Village and Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespect for the Hawaiian culture was hard-baked from the very beginning into everything we do,\u201d says Scott Head, vice president resort operations. \u201cThe music, dance, arts, and crafts of Hawai`i are celebrated year-round throughout the resort. That directive came early on directly from our visionary devel- oper, Ron Boeddeker, and it is gladly adhered to today by every Waikoloa employee.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a broader scale, hula is celebrated throughout the islands, and in particular at the annual Merrie Monarch Festival held in Hilo (April 5 – 7, 2018).<\/p>\n
