The land upon which the ASB Campus sits – and its surrounding areas – was once filled with lush loʻi kalo (taro patches), nourished by the Nuuanu Stream, which flows alongside. Just as the loʻi 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.

Kloe Kang
Kloe has been teaching drawing, painting and designing courses at Kapi'olani Community College and University of Hawaii at Manoa since 1999. Kloe's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally. Her work seeks to re-interpret the “secret” of familiar things in new contexts. She uses images of everyday objects and our immediate environment, addressing the exotic and mundane elements that coexist in Hawaii’s mixed cultural climate. Doors, rice bowls, daily conversation, traces of Windward landscape or the summer constellation were constructed from her remote and fresh memories.
