The land upon which the ASB Campus sits – and its surrounding areas – was once filled with lush loi kalo (taro patches), nourished by the Nuuanu Stream, which flows alongside. Just as the loi nurtures the kalo within, ASB’s Loʻi Gallery provides a space for artists of Hawaii to share their talents with the community.
As part of ASB’s commitment to bringing real impact to the community, 20% of sales will benefit a local nonprofit selected by ASB. Remaining proceeds will go directly to the artists, further supporting Hawaii’s local art community.
