“Public art programs are a powerful strategy that state arts agencies employ to encourage public appreciation of the arts, enliven public space, strengthen community identity, and engage and support artists from all backgrounds,” said Declan Wicks for National Assembly of State Arts Agencies. “The Hawai\u02bbi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts<\/a> (SFCA) has undertaken a series of steps to ensure that its Art in Public Places program<\/a>\u2014the first statewide percent for art program in the nation\u2014supports the full diversity of Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s artistic community and acquires works of art expressive of the Hawaiian islands and the multicultural heritages of its people.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Strengthened by the curatorial statement\u2019s findings, SFCA continues to increase the visibility and acquisition of works by Native Hawaiians. the agency undertook a complement of strategies, including:<\/p>\n

inculcating an agency culture dedicated to community work and engagement;
\nhiring K\u0101naka artists and curators at the Hawai\u2019i State Art Museum to continue to engage with the Native Hawaiian artwork in the APP collection;
\nexpanding and diversifying the locations of exhibitions and juried shows from which SFCA acquires artwork;
\nmaking it easier to invite the APP program\u2019s Acquisition Award Selection Committee to consider works of art for acquisition.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, these actions work to break down what SFCA describes as the \u201carbitrary line\u201d that is historically drawn between traditional and contemporary art\u2014a line that has so often kept Native Hawaiian practitioners from representation in the APP program. A 2022 SFCA report to the state legislature<\/a> highlighted the recent progress made by the agency and the impact of supporting Native Hawaiians through the APP program: From just 2020-2022, SFCA has increased its percentage of total works by Native Hawaiians from 3.9% to 18.3% and has purchased nearly $1.5 million in Native Hawaiian art.<\/p>\n
