Aloha Educators, Community Members, Keiki and Kūpuna,
Warm greetings from the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Education Department! With gratitude for our enduring partnerships, we eagerly embrace the upcoming year as an opportunity to rebuild and inspire. Amidst this journey, we're excited to offer an array of engaging experiences including mesmerizing school shows, immersive residencies, and enlightening teacher workshops. Together, we're set to rediscover the joy of creativity and its profound impact.
Renowned artist Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." With these words as our guide, we're dedicated to fostering a space where creativity knows no bounds and curiosity thrives. Thank you for your unwavering support as we embark on this transformative year, celebrating the arts and their ability to uplift our souls.
Mahalo nui loa,
Moira Pirsch, PhD Education Director
