past and future events.

Artesia is a hybrid sanctuary:

It is an agricultural-amphitheatre, where foods such as taro, sweet potatoes, strawberries, watermelons, herbs and tropical flowers grow. The ponds, when fully functional, will support aqua-culture.

It is the vision of owner Jim Channon to use this magnificent sanctuary as a community gathering spot.

FOUR SEASONS THEATRE

An inspired and benevolent group of space gypsies from North Kohala have banded together to create a season of four playful and entertaining experiences at Artesia.

The dates of these events are:

Saturday, December 22, 2001

Saturday, March 23, 2002

Sunday, June 23, 2002

Saturday, September 21, 2002

Story-tellers, musicians, dancers, troubadors will fill the bill at each of these events.

Singer /songwriter Miles Wakefield, pictured in photo with Melinda Moore, is one of many such talents.

Each of the events is scheduled to coincide with the solstice and equinox times of the year. The themes for each season will be:

Winter - Big Island Mixed Plate

Spring - Trans Performational Games

Summer - Renaissance Festival

Fall - Theatre Performance

The creative process will remain alive and open with the goal of incubating new and creative movements in our community.

The Artesia gardens are maintained by Master Gardener Michael McCullough and assistant Andy Elmer.
