The Artists of Hawai‘i exhibit has provided local artists with a powerful venue for their perspectives on the most pressing issues of our time. This year, 18 storytellers, activists and artists created a mix of video games, weapons, ceramics and more for the least traditional exhibition in its 70-year history.

Through bold, boundary-pushing approaches, the artists featured in this exhibition ignite conversations through community-centered collaboration—re-envisioning Hawaiʻi’s past, present, and future through 13 original, placed-based installations utilizing a wide variety of mediums—including technology, performance, site-specific installations, and traditional art practices.
