Building an arts industry

\

Emerging and established artist working together with support from patrons is vital to building Hawaii's art industry.  We need to foster more joint projects and feature the talented artists of Hawaii.  The question is always how to foster greater communication and coordination so that the events are successful.  See mydesignworks.com for more information.

It is important that as artists we maintain effective communication using all technologies and work to fully develop an arts industry in Hawaii along with a solid collector/patron base worldwide.
