The prestigious Artists of Hawai‘i exhibition has showcased the talents of island artists since 1950.

This year, the exhibition sees a shift from object-centric practices to artworks based on spatial experience and participatory visitor experiences to rethink how visitors engage with art and ideas. Artists of Hawai‘i also now includes a stronger curator-artist dialogue for all participating artists, with regular studio visits by arts of Hawai‘i curator Healoha Johnston over eight months in the production of all new work.
