This
award-winning
multi-disciplinary, month-long project, now in
its 5th year, is supported by the Hawaii
State Foundation on Art & Culture and the National Endowment for
the Arts. It
preserves both the local culture and living history of Lana‘i by
offering students grades 6-12 the choice of learning storytelling, a visual
art medium of their choice, or both. Student choices have run the gamut:
art & storytelling, art discipline only, storytelling only, two art
disciplines. Click on the linkbelow for details on this amazing project,
pictures and more!

| The Lana'i school has several exterior walls which have been slated for mural sites for some time with no funding or coordination to get the work done. This project was the Art Center's response. With the help of over 300 students in the Elementary school five community paintings now brighten the campus with color and inspiration. This visual art presentation will help guide students, for years to come, in transitions of growing. Funded in the amount of $2,600 by a generous grant from the Lana'i Community Benefit Fund and a private Lana'i donor | The
Off-Island Art Day project takes Lana'i students to Honolulu for a full
day of art experiences. Winners are selected through an Art Contest run
in conjunction with Lana'i High and Elementary. The assignment was to create
a work of art in any medium (painting, ceramics, drawing, etc.) that depicted
one of their favorite people, places on Lana’i or one of their favorite
things to do on Lana’i. 5 winners, ranging from 4th to 11th grade traveled
to Honolulu and enjoyed behind-the-scenes curator tours of The
Hawaii State Art Museum and The
Honolulu Academy of Arts, where they met two professional artists in
Honolulu, plus received $25 in FREE Art Supplies from the Art Center! Two
runner-up prizes recieved $50 in art supplies from the Lana’i Art Center
art supply section in the gallery! Funded for $2000+ from generous grants from The Royal Lana'i Yacht Club, The Mike Carroll Gallery, Lana'i Art Center founding artist John Wullbrandt and the V. Larsen Gallerie! |
The
Lana'i Art Center works with the Lana'i branch of VSA
Arts, an international organization that creates arts-related opportunities
for people with disabilities. The Lana'i Art Center/VSA youth Art Club program
offers low-cost art experiences after school twice weekly. We also donate use of Art Center facilities - classrooms and studios in all disciplines, from drawing and painting to beadwork and ceramics - to the VSA mentoring program for adult mentors to work with special needs youth. |
