THE LEFT LANE
Name this artist

Advertiser staff and news services

The state Art Museum at Richards and South Hotel streets is scheduled to open Nov. 3.

In anticipation, we're sponsoring a Who's That Artist? quiz. Those who correctly answer all five questions published here this week will be entered in a drawing for tickets to the first tour at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 3. Send all five answers in a single envelope, fax document or e-mail by Oct. 30. (Do not send the answers one at a time.)

Today's quiz question: This well-known artist was born in Oakland, Calif., in 1935 and studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. She worked as a mural designer in New York and a graphic designer in San Francisco and Milan, Italy, before moving to Hawai'i in 1963. She left advertising design in 1970 to focus on fine art. Known for her large paintings and murals, this artist says she finds inspiration in the strength, lack of self-consciousness and sensuous beauty of Hawaiian women. Big hint: Her gallery, in Honolulu's Chinatown, opened in 1983. Who is this artist?

Mail to: The Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96813. Fax: 525-8055. Or you can e-mail: islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com. Include name and daytime phone number. We will phone if you win; answers will be in the Nov. 3 Island Life section.


Just ghouling around

The Ghoul Scouts, artists from The ARTS at Marks Garage, have decorated the place for big Halloween fund-raisers.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, you can attend Zombie Fest, with showings at 7 and 9 p.m. of horror films from such directors as Sam Raimi. Price: $10 for a single and $15 for a double feature. Halloween-theme snacks will be served.

From 7 to 10 p.m. on Halloween, they plan a Hell-o-ween Costume Party with the band Quadraphonix, classic silent monster movies, a Hotter than Hell chili dinner, ghoulish games, and — of course — a costume contest. Tickets are $20. Call 521-2903.


Teddy bears at work

We've taken our daughters to work, and our sons, even our pets. Why not our teddy bears? Tomorrow is "National Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day" as declared by Enesco Co., makers of the Cherished Teddies line of bears.

Ostensibly, the idea is to honor of President Teddy Roosevelt's birthday weekend, but the effort seems to have no more serious intent than to lighten things up around the shop or office.
