There's a new way for kids in rural Hawaii to get an education in the arts.
The state's Community Foundation for the Humanities has awarded a total of $72,000 in grants to 10 arts education programs across the state, including an $8,000 Big Island printmaking residency program for ages 8 and older at Koana Cultural Community in Mountain View, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
"Techniques include mono printing, collage printing, and using natural materials," says the program's director.
