Get ready for the largest dance party ARTafterDARK has ever seen!

• DJ Nocturna spins the best of 80s rock in Banyan Courtyard.
• See a morphing portraits slideshow of 80s icons in Kinau Courtyard.
Free photos:
With a theme like About Face, we had to have a photobooth! Grab your friends and head on over to the Banyan Courtyard for a free evening momento with help from our friends at Hawaii Digital Photobooth.
We will have props to dress up your photo. Momentos will print immediately so don't worry about waiting!
Morphing Faces Show:
MJ is never forgotten! Think back to the "Black & White" video of the early 90s, now plug in the faces of your favorite 80s icons and voila! Special thanks to Jim Abrams for making this possible.
