As the County of Maui completed the 2020-2023 Wailuku Improvement Projects, it collaborated with a team of Wailuku-based arts programs, businesses and cultural practitioners to envision the town as an arts district. This Wailuku Arts District Management Plan was created through a 2022-2023 National Endowment for the Arts grant awarded to the County of Maui. A cooperative effort to coordinate facility and public space planning, management, maintenance and collaborative programming, the Wailuku Arts District will be an interconnected destination that maximizes the public's opportunities to experience, learn and celebrate the arts.
