Aloha Educators, Community Members, Keiki, & KÅ«puna,
Greetings from the Education Department at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center! We deeply appreciate our lasting collaborations and look forward to the new year as a time for renewal and inspiration. As we move ahead, we're thrilled to present a wide range of enriching activities, including captivating school performances, in-depth residencies, and insightful teacher workshops. Together, we'll reignite the joy of creativity and explore its powerful influence.
Our commitment is to create an environment where imagination is limitless and curiosity flourishes. We are grateful for your steadfast support as we journey through this transformative year, celebrating the arts and their ability to elevate our spirits.
As we work toward recovery and renewal, we send our heartfelt wishes to all. We're excited to announce that the 2024 Can Do! Days will draw inspiration from the wisdom of the Ahupua'a system and the imagery created by Kamehameha Publishing.
