Sponsorship we proudly serve as fiscal sponsors for a hewlett foundation grant for the kaululehua hawaiian cultural center in support of a performing arts fellowship called "mahuahua: flourishing generational artistry." this initiative will bring together artists, students, and audiences of all backgrounds to deepen relationships between selected performing artists and their craft, with a focus on the traditional homelands from which their arts come and the homelands and native peoples in whose territory they reside. This is being achieved through community outreach, a master/apprentice program and a series of public lecture/demonstrations. The culmination of this initiative will be a "hoike" (performance) showcasing these traditional arts.
