The International Shoebox Sculpture Exhibitions have become a tradition of the University of Hawaii Department of Art.  Although this is an invitational, artists around the world anticipate participation in the exhibitions.  Museums are encouraged by the quality of the artists' works and the opportunity the exhibition provides in bringing sculpture created by international artists to their communities.  The small format of the works in the traveling exhibitions, with the subsequent ease and economy of handling, provides exposure to a broad spectrum of contemporary sculpture.  The itinerary for the 8th International Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition brings the total presentations at museums and exhibition venues throughout the United States, Taiwan, Guam, Japan, Canada, and Mexico to 110.
