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.
