A snowstorm strands a group of strangers at Monkswell Manor—just as news breaks of a nearby murder. When a police detective arrives on skis, it’s clear the killer is among them. With every clue, suspicion and tension rise in this classic whodunit filled with twists, secrets, and the world-famous final reveal that’s kept audiences guessing for almost 75 years.

Maui Public Art April 2026 Call to Artists
Our 2026 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 HERE https://vimeo.com/939718380 to view a 5-minute film summarizing this work.)
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 (with the exception of Project Category C6, which converts selected submissions directly to production). 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: April 7, 2026 at 11:59 pm HST. Apply HERE: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=17104
Request for Qualifications | Echoes of the Land: A Call for Narrative Playscapes
The Hui Moʻolelo Intergenerational Playscape Project is a visionary initiative to create three (3) permanent, story-grounded playscape installations within public parks across Maui County.
This project follows a "Design & Venue Matching" model. Rather than applying for a specific park, multidisciplinary teams are invited to submit their qualifications and a conceptual approach based on our Hui Moʻolelo story archives. Following a review of the application pool, our community panel will match selected finalists with specific park locations that best align with their design aesthetic and the cultural narratives of that community.
In a gesture of renewal and resilience, the County of Maui invites (but does not require) design teams to consider the integration of salvaged wood and stumps recovered from the 2023 wildfires in Lahaina and Kula, offering these honored remnants a second life as foundational elements of play and memory within the new playscapes.Total Project Opportunity: Three (3) distinct commissions.Capital Budget: $500,000 per site (comprehensive of design, fabrication, and installation).The Foundation: This is a "listening-first" project. Teams will not collect new stories; instead, they will select from a curated "menu" of recorded community moʻolelo to serve as the conceptual heart of the build.RFQ Process: Selected finalists may enter a stipended "Refinement Phase" to adapt their concepts to a specific matched venue before final contracts are awarded. Due to the project deadline, we encourage you to be as detailed as possible in your application. Project Development Process: Applications will be reviewed by a community panel. Selected team/s 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: April 7, 2026 at 11:59 pm HST. Apply HERE https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=17103
