By Leslie Foley

This featured exhibition explores the unexpected and compelling story of Hawaii’s paniolo - the Hawaiian cowboys whose rich ranching traditions date back to the early 1800s. Aloha Vaqueros celebrates the influence of the vaquero on Hawaiian cowboys and ranching traditions through vivid artworks, historical artifacts and personal stories bringing a fresh and vibrant perspective to the West.
