Since 2010 on Kauai, See that Fly has recycled more than 6,000 t-shirts and turned them into popular bags that work for carrying groceries or at the farmers market as a beach bag or work carryall. Each shirt used on the interior is different, dyed and then new prints from local artists are silk screened on the outside, resulting in a one-of-a-kind product. See that Fly will be sharing a booth at the night market with one of their featured local artists from Kauai, Michi, whose mermaid print adorns one of the line’s top-selling bags. Recently See that Fly added dresses to their line — cute & comfortable, they are the perfect beach dress.

Heads up, folks, this is your LAST month to get your hands on the special Pow Wow Street Art edition of Night Market’s Art Cards!

What is an Art Card, how do I get some, and what the heck do I do with them once I have them?

Next month, Night Market will be releasing another special, limited edition series of prints, in conjunction with the national Scholastics Art Awards Program.

The Scholastic Art Awards offers teens in grades 7 through 12 the opportunity to submit their creative works in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision, and regional award winners receive Gold Keys (considered for national-level recognition) and Silver Keys (Honorable Mention).

Our next round of Art Cards will feature Gold and Silver Key winners from local High Schools.

Visit A&B’s ‘The Collection’ display, where you can register and get free Art Cards to use for Artivities and Discounts at Night Market!

Proceeds from the sale of Art Card go to support Honolulu Night Market and Kaka’ako art programs.
