The Hawai‘i Arts Alliance is a statewide private non-profit that champions all arts. The Alliance has been an ARTS FIRST partner since its inception in 2001. We are the State Captain for the national arts advocacy organization Americans for the Arts, an an active member of the State Arts Action Network and the Western Arts Advocacy Network.
The mission of the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance is to advocate for, engage, and transform communities by supporting and cultivating the Arts. We are here to develop and manifest our vision as an ARTS ALLIANCE for Hawaiʻi nei. At the core of the Alliance’s work is Arts Advocacy, comprised of three primary activities:
● Arts Education
● Artist Support
● State and National Advocacy (Funding and Legislation)
Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance advocates for all arts disciplines and genres.
Your support is crucial to our mission of advocating for and strengthening the arts in Hawaiʻi. Our organization and programs are supported by individual donations, government grants, and foundation gifts. We’re grateful for all the donations that sustain our work.

Thousand children Impacted
When Covid-19 heavily impacted our communities and artists, we continued to offer programs that reached over 5,000 students and 350 teachers / arts educators.
The Hawai’i Arts Alliance currently supports two arts education initiatives in partnership with the State Foundation for Culture and the Arts: Art Bento and Artists in the Schools.
Other programs the Alliance has supported include Turnaround Arts, Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, Our Town (Lihue, Kauai), the Creative Artists Network (CANHi), workshops at Hawaiʻi Contemporary (formerly Honolulu Biennial), and the East West Center Arts Program.
