This month's ArtAfterDark features a decidedly hip-hop stance. This month's guest chair is everyone's favorite photographer, Aaron Yoshino.

This AAD event will feature exhibitions from the four major elements of Hip-Hop: B-Boying, DJing, MCing, and graffiti.  The music will be provided by some of Hawaii's top artists, including BlessDChil', Kavet The Catalyst, Nomasterbacks, the Monarchs, Audible Lab Rats. The dancing will be provided by Honolulu Dance Company's Boogie Down Productions. MCs will be freestyling all night in the Banyan Courtyard.

The graffiti will be on display within the galleries, so don't forget to get a flyer when you enter through the doors.

Food will be provided by the fine folks at TOWN.

This all goes down this Friday night at 6pm at the Honolulu Academy of Art. For more info, check out www.honoluluacademy.org
