SUMMARY:"Archaic Souls"
DESCRIPTION:Artist Thomas Scoon unveils his abstract figurative sculpture in a Preview Opening and Artist Reception at Hawk Galleries\, 153 E. Main St.\, in downtown Columbus. Hawk Galleries was voted “Best Gallery 2025” by readers of Columbus Monthly magazine. Come meet New Hampshire-based Scoon and learn about his evolution as an artist \n.“My abstract figurative pieces are one-of-a-kind\, since each stone is unique\, with its own characteristics and gestures. The figures have a sense of history and timelessness from the stone\, but they’re also contemporary. The cast glass acts as a translucent stone\, making them cohesive. Most importantly\, the glass gives my sculptures a sense of soul. When the pieces are pair or grouped\, interpersonal relationships are formed. Conversations occur between them and I hope the viewer also.”\n—Thomas Scoon \nPlease join us for our Preview Opening and Artist Reception for Thomas Scoon\, and bring your friends and family too to see not only Scoon’s show\, but numerous other artists too!

SUMMARY:Jake Shimabukuro
DESCRIPTION:By now\, if you know the ‘ukulele\, you might know the name\, the innovator who is Jake Shimabukuro. He has captivated audiences around the world with his unique and dynamic style. With his mother as his first teacher of the instrument\, Jake embraced a deep love and respect for the `ukulele and has explored new and unexpected ways to push the boundaries of what was possible on the humble four-strings. Each album has showcased his mastery of the instrument and his ability to weave together diverse genres to create a cohesive and captivating musical experience. He is undoubtedly one of the most innovative and exciting musicians of his generation\, changing the perception of the instrument itself and breaking barriers of what kind of music it is capable of. \nEnter his newest\, and most personal album yet. Grateful is a coming home for Jake. With a literal who’s who of Hawai`i based musicians\, this collection of songs is performed live\, in studio with Jake’s friends\, contemporaries\, mentors\, and heroes – all kanikapila style in a return to his roots. Grateful is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed duets album with artists from Willie Nelson\, Ziggy Marley and Bette Midler to Jimmy Buffett\, Jack Johnson and Kenny Loggins. It was these collaborations that inspired him to go back to the beginning and play with the musicians who first inspired him as he was growing up in Hawai`i. Jake shares a connection with each and every artist on this album. \nIn addition to his impeccable musicianship\, Jake is also a gifted storyteller\, weaving together musical narratives that draw listeners in and leave them spellbound. He wanted to bring the power of each artist’s stories to this album.
