Hawai’I Island

Local nonprofit Vibrant Hawai’i will support a year-long fellowship for up to 12 artists to create art that enhances collective well-being, celebrates diverse stories of culture in Hawaiʻi, and builds community resilience and social cohesion. Together, these artists will amplify the unique voices and stories of the Hawaiian people through various art expressions. Artists will also gain access to industry experts in business, planning, marketing and other areas that support their growth as artistic entrepreneurs and working artists.

By honoring and amplifying the unique voices and stories from the community, Vibrant Hawaiʻi is creating space for healing and learning that artists and their communities can carry with them well beyond July of next year.
