Art projects
Make manga: Children can work one-on-one to complete a drawing with one of these artists: Audra Furuichi (cocreator of Nemu*Nemu), Sarah Kashiwabara, Jon J. Murakami, Ming Qi Vinci, and Darold Ramelb. After working with the artists, the children will bind all their drawings together to make a book.
Anime expression: Kids can bring a drawing to life by making expression marks such as thought bubbles filled with hearts, a drop of sweat, and happiness-radiating diamond-shaped sparkles. They'll connect the drawings to headbands.

Since their debut at the Kawaii Kon Anime Convention in 2010, Alt/Air has developed a large fan base in Hawaii, and their music took the local music scene by storm. They opened for numerous high caliber song artists and bands such as Aural Vampire, Owl City, Passion Pit, Classixx, Diplo, Donnis and Steve Aoki.
