  Honolulu Museum of Art Friends:

  The Honolulu Museum of Art Friends supports the museum by increasing public awareness and continuing fundraising efforts. Members help on special fundraising events such as Kama‘aina Christmas and organize culturally enriching art tours. Honolulu Museum of Art Friends members bring to the museum skills such as event planning, management, writing, editing, accounting and cashiering, computer proficiency, sales and public relations, design and decoration and web development.

  • Membership in the Honolulu Museum of Art Friends not only involves you in a nationally recognized art museum and its programs, but also offers the opportunity for friendships with others within our community who share common interests in art.
  • Art tours, demos, and lectures: Curator- or docent-lead tours are offered periodically to Honolulu Museum of Art Friends members. Members often get a peek behind the scenes.
