2025 Grant Awardees

Hoʻākea Source, in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program and with additional support from the Laila Twigg-Smith Art Fund of the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation, announces the second group of 12 awardees receiving funds from $4,000 to $10,000. Grantees will have one year to bring to life a range of projects centered around ʻāina (that which feeds), pilina (relationality), and huli (change).

Projects celebrate the diverse practices of artists of Hawaiʻi and take many forms, including experimental publications; archiving projects centered on Hawaiian cultural practices, local culture, and māhū joy; a multimedia performance; a mobile artist-in-residence program; a contemporary dance film; community-based projects rooted in cultural practice; an artist collective; a service learning trip; a thematic group exhibition; and an archival film screening.

A trio of external review panelists convened to discuss applications and select this year's awardees from 31 total applicants.
