Anywho.....
A couple years ago, after countless hours devoting time to networking, volunteering, for various professional groups and nonprofits, etc., I decided I wanted to spend my time supporting things that I love....in this case, art. A love of my life. I bugged the museum and volunteered at events for two years with the goal of getting on the ARTafterDARK Advisory Board, a group of up-and-coming young professionals. I am so thankful to say that they gave me the privilege of joining a dynamic, talented, amazing group of people. Hawaii's best! I will co-chair my second ARTafterDARK, POSH, this Friday, 8/29, and I am beyond stoked! It's gonna be dope, and you should really come check it out.

This blog post has two goals:
1) To get you to come to the event this Friday and....
2) to let you know it pays to be a member!! Become a member of the museum for only $25 a year (which gets you free entry to all ARTafterDARK events, free entry to the museum all year, and discounts at the Doris Duke theater. Totally worth the money when you consider that entry to one ARTafterDARK is $10!
This month the event is POSH...and the sponsor is Tori Richard. Plus, they have a new Art Deco exhibit that is killer. Cause it's classy like that. Please join me, grab a drink, and support arts in Hawaii.
POSH definition: Elegant or stylishly luxurious. "a posh Munich hotel"
Synonyms: smart, stylish, fancy, high-class, fashionable, chic, luxurious, luxury, deluxe, exclusive,opulent, lavish, grand, showy, upscale, upmarket
Origins: The story goes that the more well-to-do passengers on ships travelling between England and India used to have POSH written against their bookings, standing for 'Port Out, Starboard Home' (indicating the more desirable cabins, on the shady side of the ship). Unfortunately, this story did not make its appearance until the 1930s, by which time the term had already been in use for some twenty years. Added to this, the word does not appear to have been recorded in the form 'P.O.S.H.', which would be expected if it had started life as an abbreviation.
