This week on the Team Lally Real Estate Radio Show, we interview Karen Ewald, Executive Director of the Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Karen highlights the vital role of public funding in sustaining arts and culture, while also sharing details about exciting community events such as the First and Third Friday art walks. She discusses additional programs that community members can get involved in and outlines her future goals for the SFCA, including a new strategic plan shaped by community feedback, fostering more in-person gatherings across the islands to strengthen arts advocacy, expanding initiatives that connect the arts with mental health and underserved communities, and celebrating Hawai‘i’s Pacific connections through cultural festivals.
