Artist Hilton Alves will paint mural number three of his 101 Perfect Wave International Murals in Wailuku, Maui. The mural, planned in partnership with the non-profit Made in Hope, will be painted from the 14th to the 16th of August, in Wailuku. Each of the 101 murals will depict perfect waves from around the world and the 3rd will be based on the magic and beauty of Honolua Bay.
Made in Hope works to eliminate the exploitation of and violence against women and children. Its hope is to change the culture that cultivates violence by supporting preventative and restorative efforts that foster educational and sustainable economic opportunities for at-risk communities both in Hawaii and around the world.

This mural is part of a
project, created in 2013, called 101 Perfect Waves International Mural
Project. As an artist and a surfer, Hilton wants to share the
inspiration that comes from the sea and waves with cities and countries
around the world. His aim in painting huge murals and planning
activities with local communities is to inspire people to have a greater
relationship with art and to take part in environmental preservation.

The project includes a
world record mural depicting the famous Pipeline wave, which was
completed in October 2013. This mural is the largest wave mural in the
world and located in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. To paint
this huge wall of 5 floors high and 100 meters wide, the artist used
about 150 gallons of paint and it took only five days to complete.

Hilton will invite school kids and community members to paint a
