A signature exhibit for the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, this much-anticipated statewide juried competition, held as a triennial since 2003, the Challenge, encourages Hawai‘i’s artists to depict the people and stories of our island communities through explorations in portraiture. The 2015 exhibit includes 66 works by 64 artists from O’ahu, Kaua’i, Lana’i, Hawai’i Island and Maui.
