CALL FOR 2022 SOLO EXHIBITION PROPOSALS

The Solo Artist Exhibition will be held in Spring 2022.

Application deadline: Friday, June 11, 2021  

Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center, Maui’s premier community-based visual arts education organization, is accepting applications for artists to exhibit a complete body of work.  The Solo Artist Exhibition is one of the only exhibitions in the state of Hawai‘i that provides the unique opportunity for artists to be personally involved in all facets of exhibition planning and installation. It challenges artists to envision and produce an innovative and cohesive body of work to be shown in a professional gallery setting. This exhibition has advanced careers, spurred community dialogue, and continues to define our local visual arts movement. The Hui’s serene location, bustling open studios, dynamic staff and faculty, and its reputation as a gathering place for Maui’s leading artistic minds combine to foster creative potential and inspiration.

The Hui welcomes two types of applications:

1) Further exploration of current work from emerging artists

2) Proposals for a new body of work by established artists

Artists are invited to “tell their stories” and engage the community in walk-throughs, hands-on workshops, and talks or lectures.

MISSION

The mission of Hui No‘eau, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is to unlock creativity through exceptional visual arts education and enhance this endeavor through the preservation of the historical Kaluanui estate. 

ELIGIBILITY

Work submitted must be current — created within the past two years without supervision and not previously exhibited. More than one medium may be exhibited. Applicants must be 18 years or older and reside in the state of Hawai‘i.

Emerging artist’s work must represent the style and media that will be exhibited. Established artists should submit five images of the proposed (new) work along with images of past work. Please be thoughtful when selecting images for your proposal; these images and your written statement are core selection criteria and should be clearly connected to one another.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Proposals are open to artists working in all media. Artists are encouraged to exhibit a current body of work focusing on a specific theme. The Exhibitions Committee, which is comprised of representatives from Maui’s art community, the Hui staff, and Board of Directors, will review applications and make artist selections. Artwork is juried for inventiveness, technical proficiency, and artwork’s reflection of the artist’s statement.

APPLICATION DEADLINE & NOTIFICATION

All proposals must be received by Friday, June 11, 2021. Artists will be notified of results by early August. No late proposals will be accepted.

FEES

A non-refundable application fee of $20 (members) / $65 (non-members — includes yearly individual membership dues) should be submitted with your application.
