Individual Artist Fellowship: Selected Works by IAF Recipients 1995 - 2008
September 3, 2010 - July 16, 2011

An exhibition featuring work by recipients of the Individual Artist Fellowship Awards, a prestigious award presented by the Hawai i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts every two years. As many of the visual artists have work represented in the HSFCA s Art in Public Places Collection, one work was chosen from the collection and one or two pieces were selected through studio visits. The show allows artists to display works, most created post-fellowship, alongside pieces produced earlier in their career, illustrating how the award helped to develop their body of work. Hawai i State Art Museum, 250 Hotel St. Hours: Tues.-Sat., 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and First Friday, the downtown gallery walk held on the first Friday of every month, from 5-9 p.m. Closed Sunday, Monday, and all state and federal holidays.

Ongoing - Gallery is modified for each new exhibition



The I Love Art Gallery helps you learn about the elements of art through hands-on activities.


An interactive educational gallery that promotes the understanding and appreciation of the arts, and encourages the public to increase their own awareness of the place and significance of art in their own lives.

The gallery allows visitors of all ages to learn together in a refreshing and informal setting. It focuses on the vocabulary and structure of art-making through the elements and principles of art and design (such as line, shape, form, space, and texture); ties information to objects currently on view in our galleries; and provides hands-on activities to experience art materials. Participants are encouraged to learn about art as artists do by touching, observing, exploring, thinking, and reading.

We encourage you to explore the gallery to share insights and ideas, become familiar with the language of art, and see for yourself how it builds and shapes the works in our galleries.
