Museum Staff

The Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HiSAM) is operated by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA), a state government agency administratively attached to the Department of Accounting and General Services. The museum is a part of the Art in Public Places (APP) Program. The objectives of the APP Program are to enhance the environmental quality of public buildings and spaces throughout the state for the enjoyment and enrichment of the public; to cultivate the public’s awareness of visual arts in all media, styles, and techniques; to contribute to the development and recognition of a professional artistic community; and to acquire, interpret, preserve, and display works of art expressive of the Hawaiian islands, the multicultural heritages of its people, and the creative interests of its artists.
