VOLUNTEERS
Hawai‘i Contemporary relies upon enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to be ambassadors of Hawai‘i Triennial and champions for the visual arts. Their generosity of time and their focused energies are integral to the success of the organization and the work we do. They create positive experiences for our community and for visitors to the Triennial, helping guests to engage with the art in meaningful ways.
While our greatest need for volunteers is in the lead-up and during the Hawai‘i Triennial (our next iteration is HT25, 15 Feb – 04 May 2025), we do rely upon volunteers to assist with ongoing programming and year-round events. If you would like to join our pool of volunteers, email us at events@hawaiicontemporary.org. Mahalo!
