Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center, located in Makawao, has been selected as one of 10 arts organizations nationwide to receive Ovation TV and Charter Communications, Inc.’s 2023-2024 Stand For The Arts Awards.

The award recognizes local arts, cultural and educational organizations and programs. Organizations have been selected based on the following criteria: support of creatives and artists via community-driven programming; as advocates for equity and access to the arts; and for providing accessible community spaces for creative expression.

“We are honored and grateful to be selected as one of 10 incredible organizations to receive the Stand for the Arts Award this year,” said Anne-Marie Forsythe, Hui No‘eau executive director. “We have been working tirelessly to increase access to the arts on Maui – and especially for those who need arts the most for self expression, mental health, personal growth, and community resilience. Hui No‘eau is committed to continuing this important work, which is more critical now than ever before as our community begins to heal following the Maui wildfires.”
