For those interested: ------------------- Art of Radio Hawaii New On-Line Exhibition Celebrates Hawaiiana ______________________________________
Over 70 years of Hawaiian radio art features in a new on-line exhibition recently opened at www.radioheritage.net the global website of the Radio Heritage Foundation. The exhibition brings together commercial designs from logos, letterheads and promotional ephemera covering Hawaiian radio broadcasters, mainly from the 1950's and 60's. Three main themes cover maps, hula girls and buildings. There's the famous orchid map from KILA 'The Voice of the Orchid Isle', a hula girl from 1940's KULA and many more examples from long gone and forgotten radio stations that once entertained residents of the islands. KANI [The Windward Broadcasting Company], the Aloha Radio Network, KLEI, KTOH and KTRG are just some of the many stations featuring in this nostalgic look back at the art work that helped Hawaiian radio stations define their individual identities. The classic elements of radio towers, palm trees, little grass shacks and hula girls come together in this fascinating tour of the radio dial from when Hawaii was still a territory. There are some post-statehood examples as well, as radio became a more competitive medium. The Art of Radio Hawaii on-line exhibition draws on some of the Hawaiiana radio ephemera held by the Radio Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the stories of Pacific radio. The exhibition is permanently open with free public access at www.radioheritage.net and is the third in an ongoing series celebrating radio related art from around the Pacific. Earlier exhibitions feature Australia and New Zealand from the 1930's and Japan from the 1930's to the 1960's. Readers and listeners with memories or ephemera of any Hawaiian radio stations are invited to contact the Radio Heritage Foundation which is also planning another exhibition covering Hawaiian radio from the 1970's to the present time. ______________________ Media Contact: David Ricquish, Chairman, Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please query for permission to use exhibition images to accompany this release. --------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
