Award Recipients
Each year, an individual is honored for their life-long commitment to the Arts and education in Hawaiʻi. The honor is named for Alfred Preis, founder of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) and the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance. Best known as the architect of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, Alfred Preis also authored the Art in Public Places legislation, designating 1% of state-building new construction and renovation funds for art.
