Mission Statement
The Center’s exhibits program seeks to encourage fresh ways of seeing, thinking and engaging with visual arts and to fulfill a need for inspiration and meaning in our lives.
Goals
We present visual arts from the State of Hawaii and around the world to reflect important issues and ideas of our time. Our primary goal is to support artists in their exploration of new and innovative work. We celebrate the spectrum of human experience by presenting a broad view of culture, places and people. We believe that the arts are essential to the quality of life and education of our community.
The exhibits program incorporates visual arts presentations from the following categories:
Community Proposals

In addition to exhibits initiated by the MACC, the gallery accepts proposals from individuals and groups of artists. We encourage artists to use this opportunity to convey contemporary ideas that demonstrate challenge and experimentation through innovative new work. Proposals are accepted each year between August–November. Guidelines and Application can be downloaded from the links on left.
Thematic Invitational Exhibits
