There is no additional funding ask this year per October 2, 2020 Finance Memorandum (Memo No. 20-15) from the Director of Finance. Collaborations are key to the future, integrating the arts with other sectors, i.e. corrections, human services, Public-Private Partnerships. etc.

Executive Director Johnson reviewed the SFCA narrative for the coming session: As Hawaii faces the effects of the public health crisis surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we recognize the culture and arts field is particularly vulnerable to the economic impact of the emergency. We also know it is one of the most innovative sectors and will find creative ways to adapt to change during this time. Recognizing that the arts and culture sector demonstrates how “creativity” spurs “innovation.”

Grow understanding that: • Arts creativity, and culture are a necessity to a healthy, thriving economy and society. • Government investment in the arts are critical to ensure an Arts benefit each and every community. • Every public dollar invested in the arts leverages $9 in private funds.

Advocacy Narrative: Arts and creativity make us stronger—as individuals, families, communities, states and as a country. They are a backbone of innovation, prosperity, and thriving people and places. Public funding for arts and creativity is a high-return investment that benefits every American in every city, town and rural community nationwide.

Proposed virtual AASC: April, exact dates TBD

Discussion:

The exhibit brings together three Hawai‘i-based artists whose recent bodies of work address issues informing abstraction in the 21st century. Abstraction has left an indelible imprint on the trajectory of modern art over the past century, seeking to move beyond precedent by questioning whether what is seen is what is real. Abstraction at its core is inquisitive, whether a search for purity of form, an attempt to reveal the unseen, or even a fascination with the workings of the natural world. This exhibit will primarily focus on painting, ranging in scale from expansive wall-mounted canvases to intimate mixed media works on paper. The artists in the exhibition are Don Bernshouse (Maui), Debra Drexler (O ‘ahu) and Tom Lieber (Kaua‘i).

1 2 3 4 5 6 FILE DRAWER FOLDER Gareth Curtis is a professional sculptor based in Fortine, Montana. Although he is not a Hawaiʻi-based artist, he has applied to Hawaiʻi projects in the past, most notably the Kamehameha III statue for Thomas Square Park commissioned by the City of Honolulu. Gareth applied to the SFCA open call for artist applications for the Women’s Community Correctional Center commission and was selected as the art advisory committee’s first choice for the contract on November 23, 2020.

Curtis was chosen from among other Hawai‘i-based applicants including Solomon Enos, Lynn Liverton, Timothy Garcia, and Kazu Kauinana. After interviewing Curtis, the art advisory committee members noted his passion for history and his extensive experience with working with indigenous communities across the country when creating works of art depicting Native Americans. Curtis also has access to his own studio and full-size bronze foundry, a significant logistical advantage for the project given the current pandemic. GARETH CURTISS : SCULPTOR

Working in the tradition of the old masters, sculptor Gareth Curtiss creates monuments and memorials for our time. His career has spanned over thirty years and he is an expert in his ﬁeld. Figurative sculpture is his specialty.

Gareth Curtiss was born in Whitefish, Montana in 1959. Independent Study of art and sculpture under Richard Sprang began in 1979. His first sculpture was produced in bronze in 1982 and his first commission was created for Anheuser Busch in 1986. Apprenticed at Valley Bronze Art Foundry, Joseph, OR from1987 to1989, he built his own foundry in 1990. His first heroic size sculpture was completed and cast in 1991.

One or more life size or larger commissions have been completed every year since 1996, over 50 commissions completed to date, most of those being life size or larger, many with multiple human ﬁgures. He has created bronze statues throughout the United States and Canada.

His master level skills include; ability to work in multiple sculpture mediums, sculpture enlargement, bas-relief, alto- relief, mezzo-relief, ﬁgure drawing, and all aspects of large scale bronze casting and fabrication, including welding, patina, and mold making. All of Gareth’s monuments have been created, designed, and sculptured by him and all of his large scale work has been cast at his own foundry. Gareth prides himself on his work ethic and is recognized by his contemporaries as a master sculptor and foundry-man.
