The 2nd Annual Abled Hawai’i Artists Collaboration was held June 13-16, 2024 at Shari’s Studio in Hawaiian Paradise Park, Keaau, HI.
A collaborative effort with roots in and sponsorship provided by AHA (Abled Hawai’i Artist), HAC (Haw/ai’i Artist Collaboration) and Full Life, this event provides an inclusive, nurturing milieu in which the artists of AHA learn and expand working skills.
With goals to further artistic expression, promote financial independence, and showcase artists with disabilities in the community, the AHAC gathers artists, art professionals, educators, and organizers to create art and learn from one another in this three day event.
Finished artwork was displayed at One Gallery, Hilo Bayfront during the month of August 2024.
Unsold artwork will be featured in a silent auction fundraiser benefiting AHA, AHAC and Equality HI at the Abled Hawai’i Artists 17th Annual Art Festival, October 5, 2024 at Prince Kuhio Plaza, Hilo, 10am to 3pm.
