Creative Industries and the Economy
As we begin to implement economic recovery, it is important to understand the economic role of the arts and culture sector on both the state and national levels. Nonprofit arts and culture organizations have a significant impact on our economy through job creation, tourism, direct and indirect spending, household income, and government revenue. We have compiled links to several studies that provide statistics and narratives you can use in creating your plans. Some relevant statistics links and narratives:
•According to Arts & Economic Prosperity, a five year-long nationwide study, nearly 45% of nonresident attendees at culture and arts events indicated that the primary purpose of their visit to the state was "specifically to attend this arts/cultural event," indicating the power of the arts to drive tourism.
•For every one dollar invested into arts nonprofits, six dollars in taxes are generated (source: Americans For The Arts)
•The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (U.S. Department of Commerce) reports that the arts and cultural production accounts for $2,606,035,292 and 2.9% of the Hawaiʻi economy, contributing 22,186 jobs.

Hawaiʻi’s Creative Economy State profile can be found on the National Association of State Arts Agencies website: NASAA Creative Economy State Profiles.

Statistics on the economic impact of nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their audiences in Hawaiʻi can be found on the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance Website: Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 Report.

Engaging Students Through the Arts

The Hawaii Afterschool Alliance's second installment of their "Engaging Students Through the Arts" webinar series included SFCA Arts Education Specialist Nikki Rosengren, Hawaii Arts Alliance Associate Director Teri Skillman, and Honolulu Theatre for Youth teaching artist (and SFCA Artistic Teaching Partner) Lily Brennick. Nikki, Teri, and Lily taught afterschool program leaders fun and engaging arts activities that can be done online with kids. Nikki focused on "be the art" and story creation.

CARES Act Relief Grants
The Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA), with support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has developed a relief grant to assist eligible non-profit arts organizations across the state of Hawai‘i impacted by COVID-19.

The SFCA CARES Act Relief Fund is a one-time grant open to those non-profit organizations that have been reviewed and recommended for award by the SFCA through its Biennium Grant FY2020 and FY2021 panels. Qualifying organizations have been notified individually.

CARES Act Relief Grants are also available to not-for-profit organizations through the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

Help Hawai‘i Get Funding for COVID-19 Relief
The National Endowment for the Arts together with Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading nonprofit for advancing the arts, have created a survey to assess the economic impact of COVID-19 on nonprofits arts organizations. We urge all Hawai‘i arts and culture organizations, creative workers, cultural practitioners, and educators to participate, so the virus’ effect on our state’s arts infrastructure can be documented.

Your answers are critically important. They create the data-backed case for advocacy to include the arts in emergency relief funding that might be allocated at the federal or state levels.

Take the five-minute survey online at AFTA COVID-19 Arts Impact Survey.

Art in Public Places Hawaiʻi
Ka’ū High School Principal Sharon Beck referred to the sculpture ʻAʻaliʻi Ku Makani in her graduation address to the students via Nā Leo Community Television. “She compared the students to the sculpture on the school grounds by Randall Shiroma. It's called ʻAʻaliʻi Ku Makani, and describes the native ʻaʻaliʻi plant, standing strong in the fierce Kaʻū wind.” Read more in the Kaʻū Calendar News Briefs, Friday May 22, 2020.
