Hawaii Contemporary is a non-profit arts organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii, focused on connecting communities through contemporary art. It operates as a collaborative partner that presents the Hawai‘i Triennial and the Art Summit every three years, while also running year-round public and educational programs that engage local audiences and contribute to the island’s arts ecosystem. The organization serves artists and audiences across Hawaii, aiming to create an accessible gateway to contemporary art tied to Hawaii’s diverse histories and regional identities shaped by the Pacific. With a small team, Hawaii Contemporary positions itself within the regional arts sector by coordinating multi-site exhibitions and cultural alliances that highlight contemporary practice and foster cross-community dialogue. A notable recent development includes the announcement of participants for the Hawai‘i Triennial 2025, expanding its network of artists and collectives.
