This exhibition takes the viewer on a journey through the diverse regions of the Philippines featuring centerpieces of Filipino attire, from the southern Muslim and Indigenous communities in Mindanao, to the Indigenous communities in the northern Luzon region, to the predominantly Roman Catholic central Visayan Islands, to the national dress associated with Manila.

Honoring the deep connection between Hawai'i and the Philippines, a display of historical photographs shares the story of the Sakada, the first 15 Filipinos who immigrated to Hilo, Hawai'i, as labor workers in 1906.

Maui Public Art Corps & Lāhainā Restoration Foundation Present the 2025 Hui Mo'olelo Film Festival
Saturday, Nov 29, 2025 | Free | 3:30 - 5:30 pm | RSVP
​ProArts Playhouse: 1280 South Kihei Road, Kihei HI 96753

Back by popular demand! Join us for a special encore screening of Hui Mo‘olelo: Lāhainā — a beloved collection of animated short films that honor Lāhainā’s history, culture, and enduring sense of place.

Premiered in February 2025, these films emerged from the Hui Mo‘olelo: Lāhainā storytelling program — a partnership among the County of Maui, Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House / Maui Historical Society, Maui Public Art Corps, and the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Led by Kalapana Kollars and Anuhea Yagi, the program paired intergenerational storytellers to record personal memories rooted in Lāhainā. The resulting films share the voices of Jennifer Freeland and her father Haines Burt Freeland, Louis Garcia III and Kaliko Storer, Teva Medeiros and his grandfather Timothy Medeiros Sr., Coach Earle Kukahiko, Abraham “Snake” Ah Hee and Myrna Ah Hee, Reverend Gensho Hara and his daughter Yayoi Hara, Sally Ann Delos Reyes and Lopaka White, and Theo Morrison of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation.

This reprise event invites our community to continue sharing memories and hopes for Lāhainā as we reflect together on its past and future. Please RSVP HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_DTdoAAW2wPJHRB8tYgJNOuOd2uDnOP58mPWBB-ZC1qGRIg/viewform

Joshua Radin emerged in 2004 as an empathetic, engaging, and often enthralling troubadour. Over the years, he’s tallied north of 1 billion streams, moved 1 million-plus albums worldwide, and scored a gold certification for the single I’d Rather Be With You. His music has appeared in over 200 films, television series, and commercials. In addition to multiple showstopping appearances on Ellen (who also enlisted him to perform at her wedding) and Today Show, and performances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, and Conan, he contributed Brand New Day to a commercial in support of the troops at the request of First Ladies Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden. He’s played to sold-out crowds around the globe and shared the stage with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos and more. Not to mention, he’s a staunch philanthropist who supports Little Kids Rock and North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), among others. Thus far his catalog consists of nine full-length offerings highlighted by fan favorites such as We Were Here, Simple Times, Underwater, Wax Wings, and Here, Right Now.

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
