a multi-dimensional fundraiser to benefit Hawai‘i Contemporary

The Hawai‘i Contemporary artXchange fundraiser featured an online silent Art Auction, presenting a selection of works by notable visual artists from Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and beyond, who support Hawai‘i Contemporary and our mission. More than 50 artworks was available for sale online, as well as on view at a weeklong Public Viewing in Waikīkī. Complementing the Public Viewing were free public programming and Young Contemporaries, a student exhibition and art sale. We kicked off our first-ever artXchange with a special, ticketed Benefit Experience and welcomed audiences at Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī for a week-long viewing and public programming.
