Forty master and emerging artists from throughout Hawai‘i and around the world will gather Nov. 1 through 7 for the annual Hawai‘i Artist Collaboration.
On the final day, an estimated 100 creations in 14 different media will be sold at a silent and live auction with proceeds to support community art installations, art workshops and education initiatives.
The fundraiser will be held Nov. 7 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at the West Hawaiʻi Community Health Center, 74-5214 Keanalehu Dr. in Kailua-Kona.
Tai Lake, collaboration president and master woodworker, said in an email that to date, the collaboration and its community partners have donated $50,000 in art supplies.
“We were able to quadruple our giving program this year with art supplies going to 17 art teachers at 10 island schools and four scholarships awarded for financially disadvantaged youth,” Lake said.
Scholarship recipients attended summer art programs at Donkey Mill Art Center in Holualoa and Volcano Art Center in Volcano.
