The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts will hold its Board of Commissioners general meeting on Friday at 11:00 a.m. in the No. 1 Capitol District building’s Multipurpose Room, with a Zoom option available for virtual attendance. The agenda, available as a public PDF, includes decisions on grants, artwork acquisitions, and other matters affecting Hawaii’s art scene, according to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
Members of the public can submit written testimony to be reviewed by the Commissioners ahead of the meeting, with Rhiannon M.K. Keene serving as the contact for submissions via email or mail. Attendees and submitters should take care to redact personal information, as public postings of testimonies may make details visible, as reported by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
