Special Exhibition

Schaefer Portrait Challenge is a statewide juried exhibition that has been held triennially at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center since 2003, encouraging Hawai‘i artists to present the people of their island communities through explorations in portraiture. This exhibition features the carefully selected entries of artists whose work best captures Hawai‘i’s extraordinary portrait subjects.

The eighth challenge exhibit has traveled from Maui to Capitol Modern: the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum.

Second floor, ʻEwa Gallery.
