One Percent for

the Arts Hawai‘i Island | 347
In 1967, Hawai‘i became the first state
in the nation to adopt a percent-for-art
law. The purpose of the law is to beautify
and humanize our state buildings and
increase public access to the arts.
Our legislators were the pioneers in recognizing the
importance of art to the human spirit and development.
Today, across the United States, there are over 300 pub-
lic art programs at the federal, state and county levels.
Since the passage of the percent-for-art law, the State
Foundation on Culture and the Arts has acquired works
of art from artists (local and international) and from
juried/curated exhibits across the state, selected by
committees and qualified experts. These works of art
enhance the physical environment of state buildings
while providing educational visual arts opportunities to
the public through a Museum Without Walls program.

SFCA SFCAThe arts are an important policy asset and
prosperity generator. The presence of a strong
state arts agency ensures that all communi-
ties—regardless of their geographic location or
economic status—have access to the art.
In addition to their inherent value to society,
the arts offer a distinctive blend of benefits that
support the administration’s priorities, including:
