The
Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HiSAM) is dedicated
to presenting the largest and finest collection
of work by Hawai‘i artists. The museum
honors and inspires artistic excellence and promotes
education and cultural enrichment. HiSAM marks
a milestone for the State Foundation on Culture
and the Arts (SFCA) and the fulfillment of a
35-year dream for a principal venue where the
public can view a large selection from the SFCA’s
Art in Public Places Collection.
The Hawai‘i State Art Museum’s inaugural
exhibition, Enriched By Diversity: The Art of
Hawai‘i, includes 360 works by 284 artists
that celebrate a rich artistic and cultural legacy.
In a wide variety of materials, styles, and techniques,
the exhibition illustrates the varied influences
that fuel the creativity of Hawai‘i artists.
Predominately comprised of works dating from
the 1960s to the present, the exhibition showcases
artists and their contributions toward understanding
the people of Hawai‘i and their aspirations.
The Art in Public Places Program was created
to enhance the environmental quality of public
buildings and spaces throughout the state; cultivate
the public’s awareness of visual arts;
contribute to the development and recognition
of a professional artistic community; and acquire,
interpret, preserve, and display works of art
expressive of the multicultural heritage of Hawaii’s
people and the creative interests of artists. |
