Maui artist Jillian Ikehara will be at Keōpūolani Regional Park on June 14-15 as she brings the third artwork in the Maui Utility Box Art Project to life.

The public art initiative turns everyday infrastructure into art, and Ikehara was selected through a public call and panel review process to design this latest installation, inspired by a recorded Hui Mo’olelo talk-story between Carol Ball and Erin Wade.

“In their conversation, Carol and Erin explore the past, present, and future of Maui, from Wailuku’s role as a historic hub to Kahului’s vision as ‘Dream City,'” Ikehara said. “My design reimagines what a ‘Dream City 2.0’ could look like–one where we’ve learned from our history and created a walkable, sustainable community rooted in Native Hawaiian values. Each panel reflects this evolution, from the plantation era to future possibilities.”

The public is invited to stop by the installation site near the dog park and YMCA parking lot off Kanaloa Avenue as Ikehara works. People are being encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket, sun gear and picnic snacks.
