Hawai‘i Contemporary relies upon community collaborations and the generosity of individuals who share our vision to connect Hawai‘i and the Pacific through contemporary art. Through our work, we seek to enrich our local arts ecosystem and create an accessible hub for contemporary art in Hawai‘i.

If you’re able to, please consider a recurring or one-time donation to Hawai‘i Contemporary. Your contribution supports our triennial exhibition and artists, Art Summit, and year-round public programming centering around contemporary art and ideas. Your gift of any amount — large or small — is an investment in the cultural fabric of our islands and a belief that art is a language the world can share.
