Advertiser Staff

Vicky Chock's "Haniwa Samurai" is one of the works on view in "Uncommon Objects," opening tomorrow at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum.

The Hawai'i State Art Museum celebrates its fifth anniversary tomorrow with the opening of the new exhibition "Uncommon Objects" and a Live from the Lawn performance by Kenny Endo and the Taiko Center of the Pacific.

The exhibition showcases pieces from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts' Art in Public Places collection, which includes work by Satoru Abe, Michael Tom, Claude Horan and Toshiko Takaezu. The show is divided into five sections: Functional beauty, symbolic functionalism, aesthetic experimentation, transcending boundaries and inspired by place.

The event is from 5 to 9 p.m.

If you're hungry, the acclaimed Downtown@HiSAM cafe will be open for dinner.
