Our 2025 Request for Qualifications (RFQ) stems from Hui Mo‘olelo, a program that cultivates site-specific stories through community workshops rooted in Maui County. Selected artists will interpret one of these stories as a work of visual, performance, or experiential public art developed in collaboration with community members. The goal of these public art projects is to promote the unique history, culture and community of distinct sites throughout the County of Maui.

Please review each project description below carefully and base your proposal on one of the provided story excerpts. (Click https://vimeo.com/939718380 to view a 5-minute film summarizing this work.) We will accept submissions from a variety of disciplines, but are particularly interested in funding the following categories:
- New Media Projects (light, projection, or digital installations)
- Fine Art Performances (pop-up performances, street performances, or happenings)
- Interactive or Participatory Projects (works that invite audience or community engagement)
- Mural or Surface-Based Projects ( large-scale wall, column, or railing installations)
- Experiential or Environmental Art Installations (landscape-scale or site-integrated works)

Artist applications will be reviewed by a community panel. Selected artists will then enter a collaborative development phase, working closely with community members, Maui Public Art Corps, and partners to refine their initial ideas into a site-specific, participatory artwork. This process includes identifying a proverb from Mary Kawena Pukui’s ʻŌlelo No‘eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings to ground each work in historical and cultural context.

Application requirements: ​Applications will only be received via CaFÉ and will not be accepted after the marked deadline. Entry Deadline: 11/30/25 at 11:59 p.m. MST
