IONA made a big colorful splash this June with their 2017 Season performances of Paint by Number! Over 1,000 audience members were mesmerized and delighted by the IONA dancers and grooved to the unique sounds of local jazz quartet the Quadraphonix at the Ward Gateway Center shows. Here are some of the comments we received:

"I absolutely LOVED it!"

"Squishy Spashy Fun! Bravo!"

"I fell in love with every dancer!"

"I have no words...it was amazing...an experience
I'll never forget. What a wonderful masterpiece!"

Mahalo to our audiences, generous supporters, and hard working volunteers. A very special mahalo to our talented dancers who dipped and doused themselves in paint night after night in the creation of magical, colorful art that touched so many hearts. Kudos to the Quadraphonix for another stellar collaboration.

We all had so much fun!

Paint by Number was presented by The Howard Hughes Corporation and Ward Village with additional support from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts through appropriations from the Legislature of the State of Hawaii and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
