Strategic Listening Sessions Summary Report
This report summarizes the community input gathered through nine Listening Sessions held statewide from May through September 2025. Participants were asked a series of questions about the needs, strengths, and opportunities in Hawai‘i’s arts and culture landscape, and their responses are reflected here.
These Listening Sessions represent Phase One of the Alliance’s strategic planning process, and the insights will shape next steps and priorities moving forward. This work, including the sessions themselves, was generously supported by the Hawai‘i Community Foundation and Atherton Family Foundation.
Mahalo to everyone who participated and shared their manaʻo. We are deeply grateful to those committed to a vibrant, thriving, accessible arts and culture ecosystem across Hawai‘i.
