Organized by

Inspired by the unique histories of Hawai‘i as a gathering place for diverse peoples, cultures, and ideas, Hawai‘i Contemporary connects communities from across our islands and regions united by the Pacific Ocean through contemporary art. As a collaborative partner, we organize the Hawai‘i Triennial every three years, the state’s largest, thematic exhibition of contemporary art from Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and beyond. The multi-site exhibition has commissioned and presented work by more 130 artists and art collectives from around the world. Complemented by year-round public programming, Hawai‘i Triennial affirms the organization’s mission to positively contribute to a vibrant arts ecosystem in Hawai‘i and inspire meaningful exchanges around the visual arts.

Formerly known as Honolulu Biennial Foundation, Hawai‘i Contemporary is a not-for-profit organization.
