Local Snapshots — February

A good snapshot may reveal a simple pleasure that otherwise goes unnoticed. The Local Snapshots is just a tiny collection of what Kaua‘i offers to locals and visitors. Indulge yourself. And if you have any suggestions or pictures, send it to editor@forkauaionline.com.

The Aloha Exchange, near Brick Oven Pizza in Kalaheo, hosted a collaboration show by The Bright Side Gallery on Feb. 21. The event featured local artist Tim Saunders, who works with recycled metal and wood, and California artist Nathan Ledyard, who carves waves on wood. There were some cool art, food, drinks, music, a surprise raffle and lots of aloha.
