Native Hawaiian Artist Dalani Tanahy, One Of Twelve Fellowship Recipients
July 3rd, 2015 - Makaha, HI
The twelve Native Hawaiian artists were chosen through a rigorous selection process among more than 150 applications throughout the Hawaiian Islands and the continental United States. The fellowships recognize exceptional Native Hawaiian artists who have made a significant cultural and community impact in the fields of visual arts, dance, music, and traditional arts.
"NACF is proud to support these kānaka maoli whose commitment to their arts and cultural practice is admirable," said Lulani Arquette, who is Native Hawaiian and NACF President/CEO. "There were many qualified candidates and I wish we could have awarded everyone."
The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is grateful for the support of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Leonard and Rose Freeman Family Fund at the Hawaii Community Foundation and donors like you for making this special Native Hawaiian Fellowship program available.
