Hawai'i Arts Alliance Study

Study: Hawaii Arts and the Economy

The Hawai’i Arts Alliance has released the 2017 report on The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts & Cultural Organizations & Their Audiences in the state. HOT is proud to have contributed to this study. 

Read the National and Hawaii State summaries.

Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 is a year-long nationwide study that highlights the impact that nonprofit arts & culture organizations have on our economy through job creation, tourism, direct & indirect spending, household income, and government revenue. 

In the state of Hawai‘i, spending by nonprofit arts & cultural organizations and their audiences totaled $205.6 million. Nonresidents made up 7.9% of attendees, and spent 155% more per person to attend an event, due to the surrounding expenses of lodging, meals, and transportation. Nearly 45% of nonresident attendees indicated that the primary purpose of their visit to the state was “specifically to attend this arts/cultural event”, indicating the power of the arts to drive tourism.

Gallery: Niu Valley Middle Summer Residency

Students in HOT Education’s Residency Productions do it all! They build props, design sets, put together costumes, dance, act, and (of course) sing!

Niu Valley Middle school students wowed audiences when they performed Macbeth on July 28, 2017.

 

HOT Education’s Opera Residencies transform a school, grade level or participating classrooms into an Opera Production Company. The Opera Residency has become an annual learning program for the schools, and its success shows. The program is a great interactive tool for integrating arts into your curriculum through the art of opera. In addition to its foundation in literature, opera offers multiple opportunities for tie-ins to math and other core subjects. The program can be a great complement to Core Curriculum goals.
