Overview

Mission

Hawaii artist collaboration is dedicated to the power of cooperation and collaboration amongst artists, arts organizations, and educators with the goal of creatively facing the challenges of the future. We sponsor an annual gathering that bring as many of these people together as possible, as well as special events during the year that can be shared throughout our island community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our premier event is the annual collab gathering. This event was conceived as a gathering place where kupuna and master artists can recharge and reinvigorate their work through a sharing of knowledge and skills. Hawaiian meets international and contemporary artists from as many as 14 different media, and the results of 4 days of making together are available at an auction immediately following the event. People leave collab with both new energy and connections to take back into their own communities where the next generation can benefit from the recharged teachers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 89% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 80% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
