Hawai‘i Artist Collaboration is a non-profit organization working to create opportunities for artists and arts organizations to integrate collective knowledge, experience, and resources for the benefit of our communities and society as a whole.
For more than a decade master artists from throughout Hawaii, and around the world have come together annually to create unique and breathtaking artworks during a five day Hawai‘i Artist Collaboration. The artwork produced each year during Collab is offered for sale at our annual charity art auction.
Proceeds from our art sales and ticket purchases help fund art supplies for classrooms, provide scholarships and support future educational and collaboration events.
A core purpose behind Collab is to re-invigorate and reconnect professional artists and teachers via an in depth gathering to share skills and experience that can be taken back to enrich their communities.
We are committed to fostering a sense of sharing and discovery, providing a space where artists can delve into their craft and reach deeper understanding via collaboration. Our goal is to inspire imagination and ignite the creativity of our participating artists.
Creating these types of gatherings is invaluable as there is no other equivalent and the effects are described as profound, life altering, career milestones. This process directly builds community connection and opportunity far beyond the Collab experience.
