Makawao Paint Out

Tuesday July 30. Makawao Paint Out Invitational. 21 “plein air” artists converged on O’o Farm as part of Viewpoints Gallery summer festival, in which several venues were chosen for the artists to depict. This unique event was open to the public, who were invited to interact with the artists while enjoying the farm venue with concessions and a produce sale. There was a light public turnout, say around 30, from 9am to 3pm, but there seemed to be high interests in organic produce sales. The event especially gave us our first experience selling produce to the public. Judging even from this limited experience, it seems there is great potential for on site produce and retail sales, or perhaps establishing a local C.S.A.
