The Honolulu Museum of Art Friends is a volunteer organization,
founded in 1985. The purpose is to organize and promote events to
increase public awareness of the Honolulu Museum of Art.
Members work throughout the year on annual events such as ArtSpree
and Contempo and on special art tours and educational programs.
Committees with specific areas of responsibility are formed to plan
each event. Some of the perks of membership include art tours of
artist studios and homes of collectors.
Friends' members bring a variety of talent and experience to the
museum: event planning, management expertise, writing, editorial,
public relations, design and decoration, web development and many
more. Our Hawai`ian tag line
“Na Kahu Waiwai” means ‘heir or executor of the gift’. It
seems to pay homage to the founders of both museums while capturing a
bit of our history and paying homage to our host culture.
