DETAILS
CONTACT is an annual exhibition of contemporary art exploring the notion of contact as it relates to the Hawaiian Islands, its people, and their experiences. DAWSON is an annual sponsor of CONTACT as part of our commitment to build capacity in the Native Hawaiian arts community. Many of the featured artists are Native Hawaiian, and CONTACT has amplified Hawaiʻi’s collective awareness of Maoli (Native Hawaiian) art and artists.

CONTACT is organized by Puʻuhonua Society, a non-profit that creates opportunities for Native Hawaiian and Hawaiʻi-based artists and cultural practitioners to express themselves and engage with and impact audiences. Puʻuhonua Society supports artists and makers who serve as translators / mediators / amplifiers of social justice issues in the community.
