At Hawai‘i Wildlife Center in Kapa‘au, Hawai‘i Island
 
The ‘Ōpe‘ape‘a (Hawaiian hoary bat) inhabits most of the main Hawaiian Islands and is most often noticed just before nightfall as it hunts for bugs and insects using its echolocation ability. These bats are generally solitary and roost alone in trees or shrubs, not in large numbers or in caves like many other bat species. 
 
This is a small group, high-level of instruction event.
 
*This event will be filmed and included in Patrick Ching’s “Painting in Paradise” TV show.
 
 
$295 includes acrylic paints, 11” x 14” canvas, and all supplies. 
 
A portion of tuition goes toward Hawai‘i Wildlife Center.
